Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given an amplifier circuit operates with a voltage gain of 108 with a coupling capacitor, predict the new gain if the capacitor is removed, and explain why.
💡 Hint: Use the factors discussed in class regarding voltage gain reduction.
If an amplifier's input and output impedances are critically tied to its configuration, assess how one would calculate the new output impedance without the presence of capacitors.
💡 Hint: Explore resistances that tend to dominate the path through which signal flows.
