Configuration of BJT:

A BJT is a 3-terminal device i.e. base, emitter, and collector.

A BJT can operate in three configurations i.e. common emitter, common collector, and common base.

Applying KVL at the output side:

\(V_{cc}=V_L+V_{ce}\)

where, Vcc = Supply voltage

VL = Voltage drop across the load resistance

Vce = Collector emitter voltage

Calculation

Given, Vcc = 12 V

VL = 0.9 V

\(12=0.9+V_{ce}\)

Vce = 11.1 V
