The first Transistor was invented in 1948 by W.H. Brattain and J. Bardeen; transistor has gained good use, they are used in almost most electronic applications. Though a transistor is only slightly more than 70 years old, and it has replaced old vacuum tubes in almost all applications. In this post, we will cover What is BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) Step by Step, we will also learn working of BJT as an Amplifier and Switch and their Applications.

In our previous discussion, we learned that a common-emitter amplifier is most widely used amplifier circuit and Common Base Amplifier is least widely used amplifier whereas a Common Collector amplifier is moderately used amplifier.
In our previous discussion, we learned that a common-emitter amplifier is most widely used amplifier circuit due to the fact that it provides good current gain and voltage gain, and Common Base Amplifier is least widely used amplifier from all three types of transistor amplifier configurations.
An amplifier is a electronic circuit that increases the strength of a low signal and thus acts as an amplifier. We have covered transistor basics such as what is BJT transistor, Biasing of Transistor, Different Configurations of Transistor in our previous articles. Today in this article we are going to explain working of transistor as an amplifier.
A PN junction is said to be forward biased when the externally applied voltage is in such a direction that it cancels the potential barrier of a diode, hence, allowing the current flow.
