What is the function of feedback resistor?(a) To increase voltage gain(b) Reduce distortion(c) Decrease collector resistance(d) Decrease input impedanceThe question was posed to me during an interview for a job.My question comes from Voltage Amplifiers topic in section Differential and Multistage Amplifiers of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

The correct choice is (b) REDUCE distortion

To elaborate: In a negative feedback amplifier, when emitter feedback resistance is INCREASED, the magnitude of the gain of the amplifier reduces;but remains stable. Since the gain reduces the distortion and the noise in the SIGNAL is also reduced; as the overall signal we GET at OUTPUT is the input signal multiplied by the gain of the amplifier.Therefore, feedback in an amplifier helps in reducing distortion.
