If the input voltage to an amplifier is 1 mV and the output voltage is 10 mV, the voltage amplification ratio is ___. The power ratio is ___. The gain is ___ dB. Please answer as simply as possible, without use of any logarithms. Thank you!

Step 1
The voltage amplification ratio is the output voltage divided by the input voltage. In this case, it is: $$ \frac{10\,\text{mV}}{1\,\text{mV}} = 10 $$ So, the voltage amplification ratio is $\boxed{10}$. Show more…

The term decibel is also used in electronics for current and voltage ratios. Gain is defined as the ratio between the signal coming in and the signal going out. The gain, $G,$ in decibels, of an amplifier is defined as $G=20 \log \frac{V}{V_{i}}$ where $V$ is the voltage output and $V_{i}$ is the voltage input. If the gain of an amplifier is 24 dB when the voltage input is $0.2 \mathrm{V},$ find the voltage output, $V$ Answer to the nearest tenth of a volt.
