An amplifier without feedback has a voltage gain of 50, input resistance of 1 kΩ & Output resistance of 2.5 kΩ.The input resistance of the current shunt negative feedback amplifier using the above amplifier with a feedback factor of 0.2 is
A. $$\frac{1}{{11}}{\text{k}}\Omega $$
B. $$\frac{1}{5}{\text{k}}\Omega $$
C. 5 kΩ
D. 11 kΩ
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The correct answer is Option A: \( \frac{1}{11} \) kΩExplanation:
The input resistance of a current shunt negative feedback amplifier is given by the formula:
\[ R_{in(f)} = \frac{R_{in}}{1 + A\beta} \]
where,
\( R_{in} \) = Input resistance without feedback = 1 kΩ
\( A \) = Open-loop voltage gain = 50
\( \beta \) = Feedback factor = 0.2
Substituting the values:
\[ R_{in(f)} = \frac{1}{1 + (50 \times 0.2)} \]
\[ R_{in(f)} = \frac{1}{1 + 10} = \frac{1}{11} \text{ kΩ} \]
Thus, the input resistance of the current shunt negative feedback amplifier is \( \frac{1}{11} \) kΩ, which corresponds to Option A.

To prevent a DC return between source and load, it is necessary to use
A. Resistor between source and load

In current Shunt Feedback, Input resistance decreases and Out resistance increases.
Input Resistance is Ri/D.
Output Resistance is Ro*D.
Here D is Desensivity which is equal to (1+BA), here B is feedback factor, A is open loop gain.
now calculate is
B=0.2, A=50 then D=11
We have to find Inputs resistance thai is Ri/D=
1/11.
This is answer of this solution.
