Does it matter which way round a resistor is connected in the circuit?
No it doesn't
Why emitter follower is called so?
Because of the geometry of the common collector configuration, changes in base voltage appear at the emitter. Said another way, what happens at the base pretty much happens at the emitter, and the emitter can be said to "mirror" or "follow" the base. The emitter is a follower of the base, and the name emitter follower appeared and was used.
How it is possible to make a constant current source?
ANSWER: one way tie a zener x volts from B+ to ground with a resistor. that gives you a reference voltage using an PNP tie the base to the reference voltage collector goes to the load and the emitter is tied to +B trough a resistor Since the emitter follows the base then the current should be +B volts -zener voltage - Vbe or .6 v. that is it.
Define zero ohm resistor.?
A zero-ohm resistor does not exist, so we are talking about an ideal resistor. An ideal resistor is needed for description in a circuit, where we lump all wire/parasitic resistances into discrete resistors, but the wire joining two discrete resistors is considered to have no resistance. My definition: a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that does not consume energy when a current exists in the resistor. Alternatively, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that cannot sustain any potential drop when a current is on. Thirdly, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that will conduct an infinite current when a voltage is applied across it.
What remains constant in series circuit?
A: No matter how many resistor of different value are inserted the current will remain the same for each. The voltage drop will vary with the difference in resistors and i a parallel path is found along the way the current will divide according to the resistors values
