    A common-emitter amplifier has a voltage gain of\[50\], an input impedance of \[100\,\,\Omega \] and an output impedance of \[200\,\,\Omega \]. The power gain of the amplifier is

    A) \[500\]                                 

    B) \[1000\]

    C)  \[1250\]                             

    D)  \[100\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea \[AC\] power gain is ratio of change in output power to the change in input power. \[AC\] power gain                 \[=\frac{Change\,\,in\,\,output\,\,power}{Change\,\,in\,\,input\,\,power}\]                 \[=\frac{\Delta {{V}_{c}}\times \Delta {{i}_{c}}}{\Delta {{V}_{i}}\times \Delta {{i}_{b}}}\]                 \[=\left( \frac{\Delta {{V}_{c}}}{\Delta {{V}_{i}}} \right)\times \left( \frac{\Delta {{i}_{c}}}{\Delta {{i}_{b}}} \right)=AV\times {{\beta }_{AC}}\] where \[{{A}_{V}}\] is voltage gain and \[{{(\beta )}_{AC}}\]is\[AC\] current gain. Also,                 \[{{A}_{V}}={{\beta }_{AC}}\times \text{resistance}\,\,\text{gain}\left( =\frac{{{R}_{o}}}{{{R}_{i}}} \right)\] Given,\[{{A}_{V}}=50\],                     \[{{R}_{o}}=200\,\,\Omega ,\,\,{{R}_{i}}=100\,\,\Omega \] Hence,                  \[50={{\beta }_{AC}}\times \frac{200}{100}\] \[\therefore \]                  \[{{\beta }_{AC}}=25\] Now, \[AC\] power gain\[={{A}_{V}}\times {{\beta }_{AC}}\]                 \[=50\times 25=1250\]
