(a) Fixed-bias configuration, Emitter-bias configuration, and Voltage-divider configuration- rank these three configurations based on their provided stability (i.e. ? independency) to the operating point. Use mathematical terms/equations to explain and justify your answer.

(b) For the given characteristics of Fig. 3(a), determine VCC, ICQ, R1, R2, RC, and RE of Fig. 3(b). Assume, RC = 5RE, 10R2 ? ?RE, and ? = 172. No further assumption is required.

(c) If the value of CE is changed to 100 ?F, what would happen to the analysis of part (b) and why? Provide proper explanation.
