The voltage gain of an amplifier with 9% negative feedback is 10. The voltage gain without feedback will be
90
10
1.25
100
Correct answer: 90
Solution
The voltage gain with negative feedback (Af) is related to the voltage gain without feedback (A) by the formula Af = A / (1 + βA), where β is the feedback factor. Given Af = 10 and β = 0.09, solving for A gives A = 90.
