Question 1.
What is transconductance?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how input voltage changes affect current output.
Question 2.
Why is the Q-point important in amplifier design?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how operating points relate to output signal quality.
3Question 3.
What does transconductance (g_m) measure?
- Current to Voltage ratio
- Voltage to Current change
- Current change per Voltage change
Show hintHide hint
Focus on what happens to current when voltage varies.
4Question 4.
True or False: The Q-point should always be set at the highest part of the output characteristic curve for maximum amplification.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the implications of different operating points.
Question 5.
If a common emitter amplifier has a transconductance of 40 mA/V, and the base voltage increases by 0.05 V, what will be the change in collector current?
Show hintHide hint
Use the transconductance formula.
Question 6.
A BJT amplifier enters saturation when the collector current exceeds 10 mA. If the collector current is initially 8 mA, what range of increase in input voltage would keep it within linear operation?
Show hintHide hint
Consider g_m for your calculations and ensure the collector current remains less than 10 mA.
