What distinguishes positive from negative feedback?

  • A.The returned fraction is larger than in the negative case
  • B.The amplifier inverts the signal before returning it
  • C.The feedback network contains reactive components
  • D.The returned signal aids rather than opposes the input

Answer: D

Positive feedback returns a signal that adds to the input, so the denominator of the feedback equation becomes one minus the loop gain and the gain rises rather than falling. The fraction's size, the inversion and any reactance are all incidental. Every consequence reverses: gain rises, bandwidth narrows, distortion grows and impedances move the other way, which is why the two are used for entirely different purposes. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a formula, is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
