Why does the gain of a BJT amplifier reduce at high frequencies?
Question

Why does the gain of a BJT amplifier reduce at high frequencies?

A.

Reduced carrier mobility in the base region

B.

Parasitic capacitances and transistor transit time

C.

Increased thermal noise in the circuit

D.

Reduced power supply voltage

Correct option is B

The gain of a BJT amplifier reduces at high frequencies primarily due to the internal parasitic capacitances (specifically the inter-electrode capacitances between the base-emitter, base-collector, and collector-emitter) and the transistor transit time.
