| Nov 28, 2016 at 15:29 | comment | added | user16307 | is there a way to explain this step by step? emitter voltage goes to a certain point and then something prevents it to go further negative. could you explain it step by step in order of things happening? im stuck with it | |
| Nov 28, 2016 at 14:33 | comment | added | user16307 | @PeterBennett I still dont understand why the voltage at the emitter cannot go below some certain voltage. | |
| Nov 27, 2016 at 20:28 | comment | added | Peter Bennett | When you remove Rload, you've removed the voltage divider. The emitter would only be connected to the 4K7 resistor to -12V, so can be pulled all the way to -12V by that resistor. | |
| Nov 27, 2016 at 19:35 | comment | added | user16307 | But when I remove Rload the follower can follow Vb. Why? | |
