Regulating an oscillator's amplitude with a lamp works because its resistance ______ as the amplitude grows.

  • A.falls
  • B.stays constant
  • C.oscillates
  • D.rises

Answer: D

A filament lamp's resistance rises as it heats, so more amplitude means more negative feedback and the loop gain settles at exactly one without ever clipping. A falling resistance would produce runaway rather than regulation, and a constant one would provide no control at all. A component whose imperfection is precisely the wanted behaviour is a neat inversion, and its thermal inertia is what keeps the control slow enough not to distort the waveform.
