DC Bias voltage is what one would apply to an AC signal to make all parts of the signal have the same polarity. One application of DC bias is in amplification. The audio signal from a microphone or detector is an AC signal, with both positive and negative polarities at different times. A transistor cannot amplify negative and positive voltages, so a DC bias is applied to the signal causing the entire signal to be either positive or negative. The transistor can then amplify this signal and after amplification, the DC component is removed. Another application might be in setting the switch point of a comparator - a device that has two output states which are determined by the voltage at the input.
Various FET biasing circuits are as follows: 1. Fixed bias 2. Self bias 3. Potential divider bias 4. Current-Source bias
In a reverse bias condition of a circuit current initially remains the same for low voltage but at the breakdown voltage current increases fast even for a small increase in voltage.hence.........
Biasing is necessary in a transistor circuit to keep the transistor working. Without proper biasing, the circuit will fail
With a 10mA forward bias current, if the voltages at the anode and cathode of a diode in a circuit are found to be the same, then the diode most likely to be shorted.
halfwave rectifier converts ac to pulsating dc.in half wave rectifier we use only one diode.during forward bias condition the circuit is open and hence conducts hence we get +ve half cycles where in reverse bias condition the circuit is open and hence doesn't conducts.
emitter bias provides a feedback to the circuit so that circuit remains in linear regionn
of course stability of self bias circuit is much greater than fixed bias circuit
The emitter bias circuit is called self-bias because the bias voltage across the emitter-resistor is based on the transistor's own characteristics. The bias voltage adjusts itself based on the varying collector current to stabilize the operating point of the transistor. It is a self-adjusting mechanism that helps maintain a stable bias point for the transistor.

1. stability factor s for voltage divider or self bias is less as compared to other biasing circuits . So this circuit is more stable and hence it is most commonly used. 2. this circuit is used where only moderate changes in ambient temperature are expected 3. the bias automatically adjusts to any variations in the circuit. by prerita agarwal
low input impedance
It is a bias of a fixed voltage supplied by a separate low-power bias supply. Early radios used a 9 v tapped bias battery. In some amplifiers fixed bias can be dispensed with and the bias voltage is derived from one of the currents in the circuit.
current mirror circuit produce more stability as compared to biased circuit.
because we are not varying the biasing voltage
the advantage of self bias circuit will be stable for greater range of amplitude signal than the fixed biased amplifier circuit the disadvantage is it only partially effective and therefore is only used where moderate changes in ambient temperature are expected
Thevenization of the divider circuit will help you see how it operates.
