1. What is Output Resistance with Feedback?

Output Resistance of Current Amplifier with feedback is the resistance across the output terminals of a current amplifier when feedback is applied. It represents how the output impedance changes due to feedback mechanisms in the amplifier circuit.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ R_{cof} = F_{am} \times R_o \]

Where:

\( R_{cof} \) — Output Resistance of Current Amplifier (Ohm)
\( F_{am} \) — Amount of Feedback
\( R_o \) — Output Resistance (Ohm)

Explanation: The formula calculates how feedback affects the output resistance of a current amplifier by multiplying the amount of feedback with the original output resistance.

3. Importance of Output Resistance Calculation

Details: Calculating output resistance with feedback is crucial for amplifier design and analysis. It helps determine how the amplifier will perform when connected to different loads and how feedback affects the amplifier's output characteristics.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the amount of feedback and output resistance values. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will compute the output resistance of the current amplifier with feedback.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the significance of output resistance in amplifiers?
A: Output resistance determines how much the output voltage drops when a load is connected. Lower output resistance means better voltage regulation and ability to drive heavier loads.

Q2: How does feedback affect output resistance?
A: Feedback typically reduces output resistance in voltage amplifiers but may increase it in current amplifiers, depending on the feedback topology used.

Q3: What are typical values for output resistance?
A: Output resistance values vary widely depending on the amplifier design, ranging from fractions of an ohm to several kilo-ohms.

Q4: Can this calculator be used for all amplifier types?
A: This specific formula is designed for current amplifiers with feedback. Different amplifier types may require different formulas for output resistance calculation.

Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation provides a theoretical value based on the input parameters. Actual circuit performance may vary due to component tolerances and other circuit characteristics.
