1.An amplifier operating from a single 15-V supply provides a 12-V peak-to-peak sine-wave signal to a 1- kΩ load and draws negligible input current from the signal source.
The dc current drawn from the 15-V supply is 8 mA. What is the power dissipated in the amplifier, and what is the amplifier efficiency? (1.11)
2. The output voltage of a voltage amplifier has been found to decrease by 20% when a load resistance of 1 kΩ is connected. What is the value of the amplifier output
resistance? (1.13)
3.An amplifier with an open-circuit voltage gain of +40 dB, an input resistance of 10 kΩ, and an output resistance of 1 kΩ is used to drive a 1- kΩ load. What is the value of
Avo? Find the value of the power gain in decibels (1.14)
4.Figure 1 depicts an amplifier composed of a cascade of three stages. The amplifier is fed by a signal source with a source resistance of 100 kΩ and delivers its output into a
load resistance of 100 Ω. The first stage has a relatively high input resistance and a modest gain factor of 10. The second stage has a higher gain factor but lower input
resistance. Finally, the last, or output, stage has unity gain but a low output resistance. We wish to evaluate the overall voltage gain, that is, vL/vs, the current gain, and the
power gain. (Ex 1.3)
