Current amplification factor- The current amplification factor is defined as

the ratio of change in output current or emitter current IE to the change in
input current or base current IB. It is expressed by γ.

The current gain of a common collector amplifier is high.

 Learning Outcomes
➢ Students will be familiar with common emitter and common collector
configurations.
