resistor from base to collector question...

[MetalGod]

ok, not being very hot on the tech side of this stuff I was wondering... what effect does putting a resistor from collector to base have on a simple single transistor stage?

[petemoore]

  It pulls the base bias up toward the Collector.

Here is a llttle info about the different ways of biasing a transistor

Check the second method compared to the first one

Still more info

thanks for the replies - thats exactly what I was looking for Gilles C.

think I'll wire up those basic single transistor circuits and play with them to see what SOUND difference there is - afterall, thats all that matters right? (rhetorical question)

[Gilles C]

You got it right.

The best way to learn is to start with the basic circuits, play with them, have fun. Then, you"ll realise that everything you see is a lot of circuits that you understand.

The next step will be to understand how little circuits inter-react together when connected together.

Good luck and have fun.
