Transistor as an Amplifier

A transistor is a 3-terminal device i.e. base, collector, and emitter 

When the base-emitter junction is forward-biased and the collector-emitter is reversed-biased, the transistor acts as an amplifier.

The working of the amplifier is based on negative feedback.

In a negative feedback circuit, some part of the output is fed back to the input.

Explanation

The closed loop gain for negative feedback is given by:

where, Af = Closed loop gain

A = Open loop gain

M = Feedback factor

So, when negative feedback amplifier, the gain reduces by the factor (1+AM)
