Figure $18

Question

Figure $18 < 1$
-What trouble in the amplifier in Figure 18-1(c)could cause the output voltage to clip severely?
A)The input signal is too large. 
B)The power is off. 
C)The amplifierʹs gain is too low. 
D)The input signal is too small for the amplifier to respond.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amplifier circuit in Figure 18-1(c) is an inverting amplifier that uses a single supply. The output voltage will clip severely if the input signal is too large and causes the amplifier to saturate. This is because the amplifier cannot output a voltage higher than the positive supply voltage or lower than the negative supply voltage. Therefore, the input signal must be within the operating range of the amplifier to avoid clipping. The other choices are not relevant to causing severe output voltage clipping in this circuit.
