Best Answer

Biasing is used in a transistor amplifier circuit in order to place the transistor as nearly as possible in the center of its linear region. Transistors have cutoff, linear, and saturation regions. Too little bias current, and you enter cutoff - Too much, and you saturate. Both conditions cause distortion when you attempt to use the transistor as an amplifier, as opposed to a switch.

A: Assuming a common emitter amplifier the base to emitter is a diode which has a very non linear curve by biasing the diode is brought to a linear region

ANSWER: NO please. BIASING has absolutely nothing to top with the base emitter diode exponential curve. It has to do with the fact that the operating point on the collector Ic Vc point will increase decrease with bias.

For a transistor to work as an amplifier it must be connected in active region of operation. ie. input (Base-Emitter) must be forward biased and output (Collector-Emitter) must be reverse biased.

What is the forward biasing of a junction?

Forward biasing can be satisfied when a positive polarity of a battery connect with P side and the negative connect with N side In the P-N junction, that is caused : The free electrons in the N side will pushed by negative charge, and holes move far of positive charge, after that we will have a barrier (small area of barrier between P and N) this biasing called Forward biasing, because of small resistance of barrier, the current will flow, we can use it as a switch. the Reverse biasing is the opesit of all these specifications.
