What is the maximum efficiency of a class B circuit?(a) 90%(b) 78.5%(c) 40%(d) 50%I got this question at a job interview.Asked question is from Classification of Output Stages topic in portion Differential and Multistage Amplifiers of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

The correct choice is (b) 78.5%

The best I can explain: The conduction angle is 180° for a Class B amplifier. Since the active device is switched off for HALF the INPUT cycle, the active device dissipates less POWER and hence the efficiency is ENHANCED. Theoretical maximum efficiency of Class B power amplifier is 78.5%.
