The internal emitter resistance of the transistor becomes a dominant factor in calculating gain, and as is well known, the internal emitter resistance is directly proportional to temperature. If the resistor is made too small though then an undesired effect occurs.

Of course the smaller the resistance of the resistor in series with the emitter, the larger the gain. The gain of the amplifier can then be calculated by dividing the resistance of this emitter resistor into the resistance of the collector load resistor of the amplifier, provided that the emitter resistor is much greater than the internal emitter resistance of the transistor and the collector load resistor is much smaller than the internal collector resistance of the transistor. Typically a common emitter amplifier is temperature stabilized by adding a resistor in series with the emitter of the transistor.
