Assertion (A): Assertion: A larger emitter resistor always improves an amplifier.

Reason (R): Reason: It increases the negative feedback acting on the operating point.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.A is true but R is false
  • B.A is false but R is true
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer: B

The reason is true but the assertion is false: the improved stability is paid for in supply voltage and hence in output swing, and beyond a point the stage cannot deliver the required output at all. A rule of thumb of about a tenth of the supply reflects that balance. A statement containing the word always is worth testing against the cost side of the trade, because most component values have one.
