The maximum efficiency of resistance loaded class A power amplifier is ____________(a) 5%(b) 35%(c) 25%(d) 50%This question was addressed to me in an international level competition.My question is from Class A Output Stage topic in division Differential and Multistage Amplifiers of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

The correct choice is (c) 25%

To explain I would say: The theoretical maximum efficiency of a CLASS A POWER amplifier is 50%. In PRACTICE, with the capacitive coupling and inductive loads (loudspeakers), the efficiency can decrease as LOW as 25%. This means 75% of power drawn by the amplifier from the supply line is wasted.
