Why is the audio taken from the detector through a coupling capacitor?

  • A.To match the loudspeaker impedance
  • B.To block the direct-current component
  • C.To provide de-emphasis
  • D.To improve selectivity

Answer: B

The detector output carries a direct voltage proportional to carrier strength, which must be kept out of the audio path while still being available to the gain control. A series capacitor does exactly that. De-emphasis is an FM network. Selectivity is set long before the detector. And loudspeaker matching is the output transformer's job. One component separating two uses of the same node is a small but characteristic piece of receiver design.
