(Emitter bias introduction) Build the following circuit:
a. Measure the collector to ground voltage and the emitter to ground voltage. From your measurements, determine VCE.
b. Now calculate VCE by analyzing the circuit. What differences do you find, if any?
c. Increase the base voltage to 5, 7.5, and 10V and repeat (a) and (b). What do you observe? What region is the transistor operating in?
