What is the corresponding change in level for a factor of 10 change in power?(a) 100dB(b) 20dB(c) 10dB(d) 0.1dBThe question was asked by my school principal while I was bunking the class.This intriguing question originated from The Decibel topic in division Low Frequency Transistor Amplifier Circuit of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

Right ANSWER is (c) 10dB

Easiest explanation: A decibel is ten TIMES the value of power in its logarithm in base 10. Therefore a 10dB change is RESULTANT of a change in power by a factor of 10. HOWEVER, when calculating in terms of amplitude the change is DUE to a factor on 20.
