73 n-p-n transistor as common-base amplifier
The signal to be amptified, Vi is applied in the emitter base circuit The output, Vo, is taken across the load in the collector, The variation in the input signal voltage causes variation in the emitter current, which in turn, produces variation in collector current and hence output voltage

75 A solar cell is a pn junction diode in which one of the regions ( p or n) is made very thin The thin
region is called emitter and the other base Light is allowed to fall on the emitter Since the
emitter is very thin, light energy is not greatly absorbed before reaching the junction and a
current flows through the resistor RL Thus light energy is converted into electrical energy The magnitude of the current depends on the intensity of light
Soler cells can be used to charge storage batteries in daytime, which can be used for power during nights

85. When a fraction of output is fed to the input of an electronic circuit, the process in called
feedback.
86. The feedback is of two types
:-(a) Positive feedback - The signal in feedback is in phase with the input signal.
(b) Negative feedback - The signal in feed back is 180o out of phase with the input signal
87. Positive feedback
88 Integrated circuits are complete electronic circuits fabricated on a single small semiconductor
wafer (chip)
89 Photodiode : It is a pn junction diode in which light is allowed to fall at the junction The diode
is reverse biased with voltage less than the breakdown voltage If the photon energy (hν) is more than the energy required to take an electron from the valence to the conduction band, the current
in the resistor R increases If the intensity of light is increased the current increases.

When no input a.c signal is applied, the potential difference Vo across the collector and the emitter is given by
When the input signal Vi is applied, the forward bias increases during the positive half cycle
This results in an increase in IC and hence a decrease in Vo, according to Eq (1) Thus during the positive half cycle of the input, the collector becomes less positive
During the negative half cycle, the forward bias is decreased resulting in a decrease in IC and
hence an increase in VO Thus the collector becomes more positive
This shows that in a common-emitter amplifier, the output voltage is out of phase with the input voltage
