A charge amplifier is used with a piezoelectric transducer so that the output is

  • A.proportional to the rate of change of the applied force
  • B.large enough to drive an ordinary moving coil instrument
  • C.free of the temperature coefficient of the crystal material
  • D.independent of the capacitance of the connecting cable

Answer: D

A voltage amplifier would see the crystal's charge divided by the crystal capacitance plus the cable capacitance, so changing the cable would change the calibration. A charge amplifier holds its input at virtual earth and measures the charge itself, so the cable no longer matters.
