Response to the following problem:
Find the value of the resistance Re, which, when connected in the emitter lead of a CE BJT amplifier, raises the output resistance by a factor of
(a) 5,
(b) 10, and
(c) 50.
What is the maximum possible factor by which the output resistance can be raised, and at what value of Re is it achieved? Assume the BJT has β = 100 and is biased at IC = 0.5 mA.
