Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A Class A power amplifier has a quiescent current of 20mA and a supply voltage of 12V. Calculate the maximum output power that can be achieved when loaded with an 8Ω resistor.

💡 Hint: Consider how you calculate power for load resistors.

Challenge 2 Hard

Describe a scenario where a Class B amplifier would perform better than a Class A amplifier but might not be suitable for high-fidelity audio applications.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the trade-offs in power efficiency vs. audio quality.
