Today, we're discussing how load affects input resistance in feedback systems. Can anyone explain what we mean by 'load-affected transimpedance'?
Is it how the resistance changes when we have a load connected?
Exactly! We denote this as Z', which is calculated as the original impedance Z multiplied by an attenuation factor. Remember, Z' is crucial for understanding how feedback impacts the overall circuit.
And this is essential because it helps us determine input resistance, right?
Correct, great connection! We find that the input resistance is influenced by these parallel loads.
Why do we have to consider resistances in parallel?
Good question! Since these resistances share the voltage, it helps us accurately calculate the effective input resistance.
To summarize, load-affected transimpedance Z' is vital for determining input resistance by considering how resistances are in parallel.

Now, let's delve into the corrections needed when calculating the input resistance with feedback.
What corrections are you referring to?
When calculating input resistance, we look at (1 + β) + R.
So it’s crucial to use the correct beta value to get the right input resistance?
Exactly! This distinction helps avoid confusion in circuit analysis.
How does this affect output resistance?
That will be our next topic, but know that understanding input resistance lays the groundwork for exploring output resistance.
In summary, use accurate values for beta while calculating input resistance to avoid errors.

In this session, let's focus on how parallel resistances affect the output voltage.
How do we determine the total resistance in this case?
We sum the resistances in parallel. This tweaking of resistance values impacts the voltage drop at the output.
So, what's the relationship between this and the output resistance?
Great connection! The output resistance is defined by how those parallel resistances interact with the circuits.
Can we also relate this back to our earlier discussions?
Absolutely! All these concepts intertwine to build a solid understanding of feedback system dynamics.
To wrap up, parallel resistances are significant for both input and output resistance in feedback systems.
Introduction & Overview
Read summaries of the section's main ideas at different levels of detail.
Quick Overview
Standard
In this section, the concept of parallel resistance in feedback systems is explored, focusing on how load-affected transimpedance and resistances impact input and output resistance calculations, along with corrections in terminology and understanding.
Detailed
In feedback systems, the input resistance is affected by the load impedance, typically referred to as Z' and expressed as a function of the original resistance, Z_m, multiplied by an attenuation factor. The importance of considering resistances in parallel arises from the voltage drop across these resistances and how they contribute to the input resistance calculations. Additionally, there are transient corrections concerning beta factors, which play a crucial role in establishing accurate equations for both input and output resistance. Understanding these concepts is essential as they form the foundation for more complex analyses of feedback circuits.

Again I have to make this correction and then if I consider this R it is finite. Then the

attenuation factor we do have here that we need to consider along with the original Z .
m
So, Z′ it will be Z × .
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, we are focused on correcting an important point regarding input resistance in a feedback system. The notation R represents a finite resistance. It is essential to understand that the input resistance is influenced by load affected trans impedance, denoted as Z'. This impedance considers the original impedance Z and multiplies it by an attenuation factor. This factor accounts for how the signal strength is reduced as it passes through the system.
Examples & Analogies
Think of this concept as a water hose that narrows at some point. The original flow rate (impedance) of the water is affected when the hose narrows (attenuation). Just as the flow rate decreases due to the reduced diameter of the hose, the signal strength in an electrical system diminishes when it encounters different resistances.

On the other hand, if I consider if I consider this resistance also it is finite. So, if I consider that then the corresponding Z need to be replaced by and its expression it is Z × ⫽ . So, why we have to consider these are in parallel that is because this resistance and this resistance they are coming in parallel.
Detailed Explanation
This part discusses the necessity of considering multiple resistances in parallel when calculating total impedance. If additional resistances are present, the expression for Z must be modified. Recognizing that these resistances are in parallel is crucial because it allows for a more accurate calculation of the input resistance of the feedback system. The total impedance will be affected by how these resistances work alongside each other, effectively reducing the total resistance faced by the input.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you are trying to fill a swimming pool using multiple hoses simultaneously. Each hose represents a resistance. When all hoses are used together, the total water flow into the pool is much greater (lower resistance) compared to using just one hose. This illustrates how, in electrical circuits, combining resistances in parallel results in a combined effect that reduces the total resistance significantly.

So, the voltage getting developed here which is v_o which is of course, reduced version of internally developed voltage. So, the v it is Z × o m
i × ⫽ and the corresponding input resistance it will be this one.
Detailed Explanation
This section unpacks the relationship between voltage development and input resistance. The voltage, denoted as v_o, is described as a reduced version of the voltage that is developed internally within the system. The equation Z × i ∝ indicates the relationship of input resistance to the current and the system's impedance. It's crucial to connect how voltage, current, and impedance interplay within the system to grasp the overall dynamics at work.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a fountain where the height of the water shooting up corresponds to the voltage in the electrical system. If the pump (current) is strong enough, despite resistance, the water can shoot considerably high. However, if resistance (like a dirty filter) is present, the height of the water will be reduced significantly, illustrating how the system's characteristics can limit output.

Now if I consider this also which means if I consider this resistance also then that resistance also coming in parallel. So, I think that is how we can calculate the corresponding input resistance of the feedback system.
Detailed Explanation
The narrator acknowledges a prior mistake in the explanation. This reinforcement emphasizes that, in addition to existing resistances, new resistances added to the system also act in parallel. Therefore, when calculating the total input resistance of the feedback system, all relevant resistances need to be incorporated accurately. This reflection captures the importance of revisiting calculations to improve understanding.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine solving a puzzle. Initially, you may think you have the right pieces, but upon revisiting the pieces, you may realize a few more fit together, changing your overall approach. Just like in electrical systems, refining our calculations can lead to more accurate assessments.

So far we are talking about input resistance, now we can also see the change in the output resistance before we go into this please let me take a break and then we will see how to derive the corresponding output resistance.
Detailed Explanation
In the final chunk, the discussion shifts from input resistance to output resistance. The speaker indicates a break before further exploration of how output resistance can be derived and its implications. It suggests a transition from understanding how the initial stage of voltage and resistance affects the input to analyzing how these components play a role in the output stage of the system.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a relay race where the first runner (input) passes a baton (signal) to the next runner (output). While the first runner’s performance sets the stage, it’s essential to understand how the receiving runner reacts and what impact it has on the overall team performance, analogous to how output resistance functions in an electrical system.
