Question 1

What is the formula for voltage gain in a common source amplifier?

  • A = g_m * R_D
  • A = -g_m * R_D
  • A = R_D / g_m

💡 Hint: Look for the relationship involving transconductance and resistance.

Question 2

True or False: The output resistance of a common source amplifier is always greater than its input resistance.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how input and output resistances are defined.
