    In two-stage RC coupled transistor amplifier,two types of capacitors are adopted – Coupling & bypass capacitors in addition to the biasing resistors. Therefore,the DC operating conditions in any stage remain unaffected due to RC coupling. This is so because dc voltages does not coupled from one stage to another because of the coupling capacitors.

    Hence, the bypass capacitors in this configuration of RC coupled transistor amplifier helps in preventing the loss of gain due to negative feedback without causing any disturbance to the DC stability of an amplifier.
