Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are designing an amplifier with the following parameters: R_C = 1 kOhm, R_L = 500 Ohm, I_E = 1.75 mA. Calculate A_v and explain the effect of changing R_C on A_v.

💡 Hint: Focus on understanding the impact of changing resistances in the circuit set-up.

Question 2

You measure an input resistance R_in of 15 kOhm and want to connect it to a 10 kOhm source. Calculate the loading effect and discuss implications on signal levels.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for resistances in parallel to calculate the total input resistance and evaluate how this affects performance.
