Assertion (A): Assertion: An amplifier stable at a closed-loop gain of one hundred may oscillate at unity gain.

Reason (R): Reason: Reducing the closed-loop gain raises the frequency at which the loop gain passes unity.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

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

Answer: B

Both hold and the second is the mechanism: a smaller closed-loop gain means more feedback and a higher crossover frequency, where additional poles have shifted the phase towards inversion. That is exactly why data sheets state a minimum stable gain for uncompensated devices. Stability is a property of a loop rather than of an amplifier, and the closed-loop gain is part of the loop.
