BJT Structure
By placing two PN junctions together we can create a bipolar transistor.A
BJT transistor has three terminals. The base (B), the collector (C), and the
emitter (E).

The Transistor as an Amplifier: DC Condition
The transistor should be in the active region. Biasing means establishing a
constant DC current in the emitter or the collector. The operation of the transistor
as an amplifier is highly influenced by the value of the quiescent (bias) current.
I E = IC / α
I B = IC / β
VC = VCE = VCC − I C RC
