An amplifier's open-loop gain is \( 60 \ \mathrm{dB} \) and its closed-loop gain \( 26 \ \mathrm{dB} \). Its loop gain is about

  • A.2.3
  • B.50
  • C.34
  • D.86

Answer: B

The difference in decibels converts to a ratio:

\[ \begin{aligned} 60 - 26 &= 34 \ \mathrm{dB} \\ 10^{34/20} &\approx 50 \end{aligned} \]

giving about 50. Thirty-four is the answer in decibels rather than as a ratio, and the distinction matters because the feedback equation needs the ratio. Reading the vertical gap on a Bode plot gives the loop gain in decibels directly, and converting it is the only extra step.
