    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:                                                        [AIPMT (S) 2007]

    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
    \[\text{=}\frac{\text{Change}\,\text{in}\,\text{output}\,\text{power}}{\text{Change}\,\text{in}\,\text{input}\,\text{power}}\]
                \[=\frac{\Delta {{V}_{c}}\times \Delta {{i}_{c}}}{\Delta {{V}_{i}}\times \Delta {{i}_{b}}}\]
                \[=\left( \frac{\Delta {{V}_{c}}}{\Delta {{V}_{i}}} \right)\times \left( \frac{\Delta {{i}_{c}}}{\Delta {{i}_{b}}} \right)\]
                \[={{A}_{V}}\times {{\beta }_{AC}}\]
                where \[{{A}_{V}}\] is voltage gain and \[{{(\beta )}_{AC}}\] is AC current gain. Also
                \[{{A}_{v}}={{\beta }_{AC}}\times \] resistance gain \[\left( \,=\frac{{{R}_{o}}}{{{R}_{i}}} \right)\]
                Given,   \[{{A}_{v}}=50,\text{ }{{R}_{0}}=200\,\Omega ,\,\,{{R}_{i}}=100\,\Omega \]
                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
