With that loop gain, an open-loop distortion of \( 2 \) per cent becomes about

  • A.2 per cent
  • B.0.02 per cent
  • C.0.04 per cent
  • D.0.4 per cent

Answer: C

Internal distortion is divided by one plus the loop gain:

\[ \frac{2\%}{51} \approx 0.04\% \]

giving about 0.04 per cent, a fiftyfold improvement obtained from gain that was surplus to requirements. This calculation is why audio power amplifiers with unremarkable output stages can meet demanding distortion specifications, and why open-loop gain is designed to be as large as stability permits.
