An amplifier has a power output of 100 mW when the input power is 0.1 mW. The amplifier gain is_________ dB.

a. 10

b. 20

c. 30

d. 40

Respuesta :

Answer:

The amplifier gain is 30 dB.

(c) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Output power = 100 mW

Input power = 0.1 mW

We need to calculate the amplifier gain in dB

Using formula of power gain

[tex]a_{p}=10\ log_{10}(A_{p})[/tex]....(I)

We calculate the [tex]A_{p}[/tex]

[tex]A_{p}=\dfrac{P_{o}}{P_{i}}[/tex]

[tex]A_{p}=\dfrac{100}{0.1}[/tex]

[tex]A_{p}=1000[/tex]

Now, put the value of  [tex]A_{p}[/tex] in equation (I)

[tex]a_{p}=10\ log_{10}(1000)[/tex]

[tex]a_{p}=10\times log_{10}10^{3}[/tex]

[tex]a_{p}=10\times 3log_{10}10[/tex]

[tex]a_{p}=30\ dB[/tex]

Hence, The amplifier gain is 30 dB.
