Single Stage Amplifier

When only one transistor with associated

circuitry used for amplifying weak signal ,the
circuit is called as Single Stage Amplifier

Hence we can conclude that

 Capacitor acts as a short circuit for

AC signal and open circuit for DC.
Hence coupling/blocking capacitors
are used in the circuit
