In the following amplifier circuit we know that Rsig is very small and ro is very large. Given that the values of the other resistors are: RB1 = 10 kΩ, RB2 = 10 kΩ, rπ = 5 kΩ, RC = 10 kΩ and RL = 10 kΩ, and that the value of gm = 0.03 (Ω−1), determine the gain of this amplifier defined as: AV = Vo/Vsig
![Figure Q1 shows a common-emitter amplifier. The gain of the transistor Q1 is given by β = 100 , the resistances are given by RS = 500 Ω, RI = 1 MΩ, R2 = 1 MΩ, RC = 10 kΩ, RE = 10 kΩ and RL = 1 kΩ, and the internal capacitances are given by Cμ = 2 pF and Cπ = 20 pF. Assume that the internal resistances rb = 10 Ω, rμ = ∞, ro = ∞ and the external capacitances CS, CE and CL are large.
