A FET (Field Effect Transistor) is mainly used when the input signal needs to be isolated from the output. A FET has a very high input resistance, so very little current is required from the input. Voltage gain is not the main objective when using a FET.

What is the function pre amplifier?

To increase the signal-to-noise ratio of an audio signal prior to input into the main amplifier. The SNR is generally increased using a differential amplifier. Oftentimes this is unnecessary, and the purpose of the preamplifier is to increase the signal voltage prior to amplifying the current in the power amplifier stage.

What is the voltage gain of a transistor amplifier that has an output of 5 rms and an input of 250 mV rms?

The voltage gain (Av) of a transistor amplifier can be calculated using the formula ( Av = \frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}} ). In this case, the output voltage is 5 V rms and the input voltage is 250 mV rms (which is 0.25 V). Therefore, the voltage gain is ( Av = \frac{5}{0.25} = 20 ). This means the amplifier has a voltage gain of 20.


How do you use a diode as temperature sensor?

The voltage across a Silicon Diode junction varies 0.00011 volts per degree Kelvin. Connect the diode to a high gain amplifier and the output of the amplifier to a DVM using an appopriate voltage scale.


Which component of the electric signal gets amplified if it is sent as input to an amplifier Explain?

The component that gets amplified will depend on the type of amplifier we are using. In general the voltage component of the signal gets amplified.


What is voltage offset?

Input offset voltage is the equivalent voltage at the input of an operational amplifier. If an amplifier has a voltage gain of ten and an input offset voltage of 10 microvolts, a level of 100 microvolts will appear at the output with no input. Manufacturers try to design an op amp so the input offset voltage is as small as possible to minimize this error voltage at the output of the amplifier, especially for applications where small voltages are being amplified.


What is the function of resistor in single stage amplifier?

A simple, 1 transistor single stage amplifier can be made using several resistors to bias a NPN or PNP transistor into its' linear operating region. With this done, a small voltage signal applied to the input of the amplifier will have the voltage amplified at the output in a linear fashion. I'm not sure what your question is; if this does not answer it let me know.


Why do you use feedback?

The voltage gain,input impedance,output impedance,bandwidth etc. are the characteristics of amplifier's. these are more or less constant for a given amplifier. These parameters are required to be controlled. This can be done by using feedback that's why we use feedback.

How do I measure AC current using microcontroller.?

1. PIC16F877A 2. CT 3.difference amplifier DIFFERENCE AMPLIFIER: To measure this current with pic microcontroller,we have to use ADC module of PIC microcontroller.To use ADC module we will convert current into voltage form by using a .1 ohm shunt resistor across CT and we will measure this voltage drop across shunt resistor.Then this voltage drop can be easily converted into current again.For example voltage drop across .1 ohm shunt resistor =8v then current according to ohm law V=IR I=V/R I=8/.1=8A but the problem is ADC of pic microcontroller can never measure voltage greater than 5 volt. so to solve this problem we can use differenceamplifier. By adjusting gain of difference amplifier we can reduce voltage lower than 5 volts.
