When we get amplifier output current for 180 degrees of input. then it's called B class amplifier.

In a push pull class B amplifier one of the two power transistors or other amplifying elements handles the positive half of the waveform and the other element handles the negative half of the waveform.

In practice, push pull audio amplifiers are usually class AB; each power transistor handles slightly more than 180 degrees of input. This minimizes distortion (crossover distortion) when one of the two transistors ceases output and the other takes over.

A Class B push pull amplifier is a type of push pull amplifier where when one side is pushing (or puling) the other is in cutoff. This significantly reduces power consumption and increases efficiency. However it adds crossover distortion as the twos sides go in and out of cutoff. A Class AB push pull amplifier eliminates this crossover distortion at a small loss of efficiency.

Why you use pushpull complementary symmetry for class B power amplifier?

Because the output device in a class B amplifier are biased at cutoff, they only amplify one half of the input waveform, so a complementary stage, biased at class B, is needed to output the other half. There are several circuit layouts to do this.


Why the name pushpull is given to pushpull amplifier?

Because first one side of the amplifier pushes on one half cycle then the other side of the amplifier pulls on the other half of the cycle.

Why Amplifier of class B has high theoretical efficiency of 78.5 percent?

The Class B amplifier is a push pull amplifier with 78.5% efficiency. The high efficiency is due to the absence of power consumption during idle time which simultaneously increases the efficiency.


Is pull push amplifier is known as class b amplifier?

No, a push-pull amplifier can be built class A, class AB, class B, or class C depending on application.class A push-pull is used for low power audio usuallyclass AB push-pull is used for high power audio usuallyclass B and class C push-pull is used for very high power radio usually (B is typical for AM and C is typical for FM)
