Presets

A transistor amplifies because a tiny base current controls a much larger collector current (Ic = β·Ib). The Q-point on the DC load line sets how much undistorted swing you get; too far and the transistor saturates or cuts off. Educational tool.

Governing equation

Reading this result: Sitting in the active region with about 4.0 V of V_CE headroom; the gain ≈ -Rc/Re ≈ -4.7×, so shrinking Re trades bias stability for more voltage gain.
