This document discusses several electronic devices and circuits. It describes n-type semiconductors, center tap full wave rectifiers, and their disadvantages. Zener diodes are introduced as voltage regulators, explaining their equivalent circuit and characteristics for stabilizing voltage. The concepts of faithful amplification, proper biasing conditions for transistors, and voltage divider bias methods are summarized. The voltage divider bias circuit and equations for collector current and collector-emitter voltage are derived.

6. VOLTAGE DIVIDER BIAS METHOD
Circuit Analysis:
1. 𝐼𝑐
2. 𝑉𝐶𝐸
Collector Current IC:
I1 =VCC ̸ R1+ R2
So, voltage across resistance R2 is
V2 = (VCC ̸ R1+ R2) R2
Appling KVL to the base circuit of the Fig
V2 = VBE + VE
or, V2 = VBE + IERE
or, IE = (V2 - VBE) ̸ RE
Since, IE ≈ IC
∴ IC = (V2 - VBE) ̸ RE
Though IC depends upon VEE but in practice
V2 >> VBE, so that IC is practically
independent of VBE.
Collector-emitter voltage VCE:
Applying KVL to the collector side.
VCC = ICRC + VCE + IERE
= ICRC + VCE + ICRE [Because
IE = IC]
= IC (RC + RE) + VCE
VCE = VCC – IC (RC + RE)
