In the world of electronics, few texts have stood the test of time like Principles of Transistor Circuits : Often used for high gain and general-purpose amplification

The most intuitive use of a transistor is to make a weak signal stronger. In an , the transistor is biased in its active region, where output current is a linear replica of the input. A common-emitter (or common-source) configuration provides voltage gain. A tiny voltage fluctuation of a few millivolts from a microphone, superimposed on the bias, causes a large fluctuation in the collector current, which is then converted to a much larger voltage across a resistor. superimposed on the bias
