Positive feedback is used in oscillators to keep them running or oscillating. An oscillator is basically an amplifier which has a feedback path from the output back to the input. This permits a portion of the output signal to get back to the input to "keep things going" in stage - to keep things oscillating. The feedback must be positive so that it will "contribute" to the stage being able to keep oscillating. If the feedback was negative, it would serve to damp the oscillation and to "kill" the oscillator.

Why you apply positive feedback for oscillators?

The question almost states itself. Without positive feedback, there can be no oscillation (at least of a steady-state type). The feedback must be applied at an appropriate part of the oscillatory cycle, as well as at the appropriate level.

What do oscillators do?

Oscillators produce a waveform (mostly sine or square waves) of desired amplitude and frequency. They can take input from the output itself. For a complete oscillator circuit we require a feedback device, amplifier and feedback factor.

What is the difference between wien-bridge oscillator and phase-shift oscillator?

A Wien-bridge oscillator generates a sinusoidal waveform using an op-amp and a feedback network with both resistors and capacitors, while a phase-shift oscillator uses an RC network to introduce phase shifts in the feedback path to generate oscillations. Wien-bridge oscillators are typically used for audio frequency applications, whereas phase-shift oscillators are commonly used for higher frequency applications.


Definition of negative feedback and positive feedback?
