B) Part of output fed back to input
C) Total gain of amplifier
D) Distortion factor
Answer: ✅ B) Part of output fed back to input
Explanation: β=Vf/Vo

9. Which of the following is not an advantage of negative feedback?
A) Reduced gain
B) Increased bandwidth
C) Reduced distortion
D) Improved stability
Answer: ✅ A) Reduced gain
Explanation: Though gain decreases, it is a drawback, not an advantage.
10. A differential amplifier amplifies:
A) Common-mode signal
B) Differential-mode signal
C) Both equally
D) None
Answer: ✅ B) Differential-mode signal
Explanation: It amplifies the difference between two input voltages.
11. Common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) is:
A) Ac/Ad
B) Ad/Ac
C) Ad+Ac
D) Ac−Ad
Answer: ✅ B) Ad/Ac
Explanation: CMRR=Ad/Ac; Higher CMRR is better.
12. In a differential amplifier, if both inputs are equal, the output is:
A) Maximum
B) Minimum
C) Zero
D) Infinity
Answer: ✅ C) Zero
Explanation: Equal inputs cancel out; only the difference is amplified.
13. The input impedance of a differential amplifier is generally:
A) Low
B) High
C) Zero
D) Constant
Answer: ✅ B) High
Explanation: High input impedance minimizes loading effects.
14. The tail current source in a differential amplifier helps to:
A) Maintain constant bias
B) Improve CMRR
C) Stabilize operation
D) All of the above
Answer: ✅ D) All of the above
Explanation: The tail current source ensures stable operation and high CMRR.
15. The output of a differential amplifier is taken:
A) From the collector of one transistor
B) Between the two collectors
C) From the emitters
D) Between two bases
Answer: ✅ B) Between the two collectors
Explanation: Differential output is the difference between collector voltages.
