Hi Ajish, 

         

       I read your comments on Boylestad’s  common collector configuration

 

       By applying same logic to common base configuration,

   

       

       

wysiwyg_imageupload:8656:  At base , -ve of VCC and +ve of VEE are connected together.

 Now , VCC much greater than VEE. The approximate 

 values are VCC= 10V, VEE= 2V.

As such , base will be -ve and at -8V.

 

So base will be negative compared to emitter.

 

Then , emitter-base junction will be reverse biased

and transistor will not operate in active region.

 

I am confused..

 

 

 

 Boylestad common base configuration
