Transistor question ?

at the base junction. i have a capacitor connected to the
base(transistor) and a resistor is connected to the capacitor and it is grounded?


can this circuit work?
 

Re: Transistor question ?

what do u want to do? is it like a cap and a resistor is connected in series with the base terminal and then connected to the ground. is there some biasing too? like a voltage divider bias?

a schematic would be helpful
 

Transistor question ?

zahrein, do *you* think it would work? Why, or why not?
Please show us that you have thought about your homework questions, and then maybe we will help you!
 

Re: Transistor question ?

No, you need the DC bias. I think you are confusing the property of voltage and it's rate of change with DC biasing. There is no way around the fact that a signal goes through a capacitor and the bias on the other side is a DC.
 

Re: Transistor question ?

i agree with u kevin. but if u have an FET that maybe there would be some "self bias" and maybe the circuit could do something. but the person asking the question was probably referring to BJTs so i think that isnt a possibility. i wonder if such a set up will be of some use in the FET domain :?
 

Re: Transistor question ?

If you ground the gate of a FET you get current. With a capacitor there is an open circuit at DC. I think there exists a small amount of gate current to make the FET operate. I don't think there is enough bias with a gate capacitor in the way. An open circuit will cause the gate voltage to equal the source voltage anyway.
 

Transistor question ?

if you have DC bias it can work
 

Re: Transistor question ?

a resistor and capacitor..is he doing a RC connection b4 the base?
