46.4.1. Output Resistance Calculation

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is output resistance?

   Hint

   Think about how amplifiers interact with connected devices.

2. 2.

   Name one key law used in analyzing output resistance.

   Hint

   It's a law about current at junctions.

3. 3.

   What describes output resistance in an amplifier?

   • The voltage gain
   • The current gain
   • The resistance at the output

   Hint

   Think about the amplifier's output characteristics.

4. 4.

   True or False: Output resistance is affected significantly by external load resistances.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider how dominant features affect performance.

5. 5.

   Consider an amplifier where output resistance is calculated as ... Show detailed steps involved.

   Hint

   Draw out the circuit to visualize relationships.

6. 6.

   In a practical scenario, assess how changing load resistance affects output resistance in a given circuit.

   Hint

   Look for patterns as load/series resistances change.
