I've been working through the tutorials here on this site - what a great resource, and well written. My sincere thanks to the writers...
There is one thing that is bothering me though, concerning Common Collector transistor circuits and their output voltage:
Given the below circuit (taken from the tutorials here) I understand why there is current gain and why the voltage across Rload would be lagging behind by .6volts if there is no voltage gain from V1. What I don't understand is, why is there no voltage gain from V1? Why don't I see voltage from V1, at all, across Rload?
My multimeter says it is all dropped across Q1, but why? Shouldn't I still see some of it across Rload? It being in series and all?
Thanks in advance!!
