Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is fL defined as?

  • The maximum frequency of the amplifier
  • The frequency where gain drops to 0.707 of its mid-band value.
  • The average voltage output

💡 Hint: Think about where the gain reduction occurs.

Question 2

True or False: The upper cutoff frequency, fH, is primarily determined by external components.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Focus on internal versus external factors.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design an amplifier circuit with a desired lower cutoff frequency of 100 Hz. If you choose a coupling capacitor of 10 μF, what will be the required Thévenin resistance?

💡 Hint: Rearrange the formula for R.

Question 2

An amplifier has a fH of 1 MHz. If the internal capacitance is 10 pF, what is the maximum resistance at the input?

💡 Hint: Use the same rearranging method!
