   Hint

   Think about the role of transistors.

2. 2.

   Explain the Miller effect in simple terms.

   Hint

   Consider capacitor behavior in amplifiers.

3. 3.

   What advantage does a cascode amplifier provide over a standard CE amplifier?

   • Higher gain
   • Lower gain
   • No gain change

   Hint

   Consider the benefits of adding stages in amplifiers.

4. 4.
