Which of the power amplifiers has the lowest overall efficiency?(a) Class C(b) Class A(c) Class B or AB(d) Class DThe question was posed to me during an interview for a job.I need to ask this question from Classification of Output Stages topic in chapter Differential and Multistage Amplifiers of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (b) Class A

The BEST I can explain: The efficiency of this TYPE of circuit is very low (less than 30%) and delivers small power OUTPUTS for a large drain on the DC power supply. A Class A amplifier stage passes the same load current even when no input signal is applied so large heat sinks are needed for the output transistors.
