What are the Differences B/W Common Emitter, Common Collector, Common Base? Exact Differences
" Can anyone Give the Diag. for All these in Different Biasing Methods like FIXED BIAS, EMITTER BIAS, VOLTAGE DIVIDER BIAS "?
And Explain them Briefly?

I Think i should have to get 3x3 = 9 Diagrams !
(Like., CE Configuration in FIXED BIAS, EMITTER BIAS, VOLTAGE DIVIDER BIAS and other Two)

A common base amp has low input impedance, high output impedance and voltage gain, but no power gain.

A common emitter amp has a relatively high input impedance, high output impedance, and can have both voltage and power gain.

Common emitter amps (also known as an emitter-follower) have a high input impedance and low output impedance. The voltage gain is slightly less than one (usually 0.9__), but it has current and power gain. It is used to buffer high impedance sources to low impedance loads.

Phew, what a good review of first semester.

You missed something in that first semester.

Perhaps you meant that a common-base amp does not have current gain but it can indeed have power gain. Since the input is low impedance and power = I²R, then the output power for a given current is greater than the input power if the output collector load has a higher resistance than the transistor input resistance.

You were probably thinking common collector, which is also known as emitter follower.

All three configurations can have power gain.
