How Does Biasing Affect the Transistor Amplification?
If you forward bias a diode, the diode conducts. If you reverse bias the diode, the diode cuts off. Now, the base-emitter junction in a transistor is going to essentially turn the transistor on or off.

What is the role of biasing in amplification?

Biasing is the process of providing DC voltage which helps in the functioning of the circuit. A transistor is based in order to make the emitter base junction forward biased and collector base junction reverse biased, so that it maintains in active region, to work as an amplifier.

Why is biasing used in transistor amplifiers?

Transistor biasing makes analog and digital operation of a transistor possible. Without transistor biasing, BJT amplifiers fail to deliver the required output across load terminals. The optimum value of transistor bias voltage is equal to two times the required AC output voltage peak.
