Two amplifiers are connected one after the other in series (cascaded). The first amplifier has a voltage gain of 10 and the second has a voltage gain of 20 . If the input signal is 0.01 ~V , what is the output AC signal?
Options
- A1.5 ~V
- B2 ~V
- C2.5 ~V
- D3.0 ~V
Correct answer
B. 2 ~V
Step-by-step solution
Voltage gain of first amplifier, A₁=10 Voltage gain of second amplifier, A₂=20 Input signal voltage, V_ i =0.01 ~V Total voltage gain, when two amplifiers are connected in series (cascaded), is given as A=A₁ A₂=10 20=200 We know that, voltage gain aligned A &= output voltage (V_ o ) input voltage (V_ i ) 200 &= V_ o 0.01 V_ o &=200 0.01=2 ~V aligned
