Objective

● To understand the dc analysis of Bjt

3. Resistor
4. Breadboard
5. Connecting leads
6. Digital multimeter (DMM)

Basic Information
For the voltage-divider DC bias configuration (see Fig 1), all DC bias voltages can be
approximately determined without knowing the exact value of transistor beta. The
transistor’s AC dynamic resistance, re can be calculated using
26(mV )
re = I E (mA)
