Hello everyone, i'm new in this electronics thing and in this forum, but eager to learn.
I've been learning and experimenting with the common collector amplifier. I've been able to design some and test them with a simulator successfully. I've also learned that they are called emitter followers because they act as a buffer and can "copy" the voltage applied to them (with a Little loss due to a voltage drop of the transistor).
What i can't understand is something about them having the ability of providing or amplifying currents for big loads. does this means that if for example I connect a 8 ohm speaker will it be able to work? In the simulations i've made the current indeen amplifies but the voltage drops sometimes even lower than the input.
What could i be not understanding?
thanks in advance to everyone.
