A voltage amplifier does not have to supply significant current bur a power amplifier does.
A power amplifier may also boost voltage; in audio equipment, power amplifiers often have a dial on the front that is used to control the input voltage gain. A simple power amplifier is composed of a single transistor; this type of configuration cannot provide voltage amplification as well. A voltage amplifier stage is needed. So the above example of an audio power amplifier is actually a voltage amplifier stage, followed by one or more power amplifier stages.
Question: Can a power amplifier amplify the power? An amplifier can amplify the voltage or the current. Power can be converted to heat.
the final stage of a power amp is a current amplifier in a bipolar design and a voltage amp in a FET design.
A transformer is a passive device while an amplifier is an active device. a transformer can amplify voltage but never power WHILE AN AMPLIFIER CAN amplify power's can you use it sure withing the limitation of the transformer and only to amplify volts.
an amplifier is electronic equipment that increases strength of a signal and a booster is voltage regulation in (DC) direct current electrical power circuits. Basically an amplifier increases strength and a booster regulates voltage.
because it does not amplify anything, it transformers voltage and current. "amplifier" implies that input powe is increased at the output by increasing the voltage or current, or both. With a transformer, power in equals power out minus losses. The power "gain" of a transformer is always less than 1, if you want to think of it in amplifier terms.
the out put voltage will be much grater then the input voltage.
Voltage amplifiers are genrally used to amplify voltage signals to a certain db and amplification is a linear process. In power amplifiers it is not required to amplify voltage it is not significant and genraly equal to input voltage. It is significantly used to produce a large current at the output.
A big difference. A transformer converts power into more useful means of transportation or matching to the end results.Pincoming = IPVP = Poutgoing = ISVS.giving the ideal transformer equationVs/VP= Ns/NP=IP/Isthen as the outgoing voltage of the transformer increase, the outgoing current will decrease. An amplifier adds power. For example, voltage amplifier add voltage (amplify) independent the amplifier current.
If an RF amplifier amplifies the incoming signal by 200 times, the power gain of the amplifier is +25.9 dB. Power is proportional to voltage squared, so the power gain is 400. The decibel scale is 3 times log2 of the power change.
the output voltage will be much larger than the input voltage
The output power of an amplifier is greater than its input power, whereas the output power of a transformer is almost the same as its input power. In other words, an amplifier increases acts to increase power, whereas a transformer only increases voltage.
