output resistance has a voltage gain of 100. The amplifier is
now modified to provide 5% negative voltage feedback in
series with the input. Calculate (i) the voltage gain (ii) the
input resistance, and (iii) the output resistance with feedback.

Solution: Since negative feedback is applied, and

A = 100, β = 5% = 0.05

= 100/(1+100x0.05)

= 100/(1+5) = 100/6 = 16.67

Since voltage series feedback is applied, therefore

= 2.5 (1+100x0.05)
= 2.5 (1+5)
= 2.5 x 6 = 15 kΩ
Similarly,
= 50/(1+100x0.05)
= 50/(1+5)
= 50/6 = 8.33 kΩ

= 2200 KHz

= 0.0045
= 0.45%
