The collector current of a class C amplifier
A)flows for half a cycle.
B)is negatively clamped.
C)is an amplified version of the input voltage.
D)has harmonics.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Class C amplifiers are characterized by their operation where the collector current flows for less than half of the input signal cycle, leading to the generation of harmonics. This is because the output is a non-linear representation of the input, causing a spectrum of frequencies to be produced.
