Common-emitter circuit with emitter resistor
Why we need to add emitter resistor, RE in the circuit design?
Without RE, when β increases or decreases -> ICQ and VCEQ also vary, thus Q-point will be shifted and makes the circuit unstable.
By adding RE, there will be not much shift in Q-point is stabilized even with variation of β. Moreover, the voltage gain is less dependent on transistor current gain in ac analysis.

Common-emitter circuit with positive and negative voltage biasing
Biasing with dual supplies in desirable in some applications because: Eliminate coupling capacitor Allow dc input voltages as input signals.

+ve and –ve dc voltages is shown in figure below. Given β=100 and VBE(on)=0.7V. Calculate IEQ, ICQ and VCEQ.
