In my opinion, parts of your last contribution need some clarification:The solid state CE amplifier with Cb Bypass capacitor for improving gain can be explained as a circuit
even if they have to bypass the visual concept.

The electrical physics inside the transistor is a good question. It is sort of not really relevant in getting the needed
skills within the scope of the macro level of the CE amplifier or the role of Cb. in improving gain.
* What is the capacitor Cb ? Where is it located?
* What do you mean with "improving gain"? Do you mean "larger" gain or gain with less distortion? I ask this because a large gain value is not always the "best" gain.
Please, can you explain the meaning of the last sentence ("...back to the base called negative feedback").The Cb capacitor passes the AC to the ground rail improving the congestion, The capacitor ground pathway can route AC signal back to the base called negative feedback.
I think, the opposite is true - the emitter bypass capacitor prevents ac negative feedback.
=================
Finally, I would like to make a brief comment on the video presented:
I don't know of any video on the emitter circuit that is less helpful.
Keywords:
* No explanation of the task of the 4 resistors,
* No information on the resistor values,
* No mention of the necessity/selection of a DC operating point,
* No explanation of how the voltage amplification occurs,
* Arbitrary assumption of an input voltage (10mV) and an output voltage (400mV) without any explanation/calculation (the same also applies to input and output currents).
How can one recommend something like this?
