Step 1
We are given a rotating potentiometer that measures angular displacements. The resistance between points A and C is constant, but the resistance between A to B and B to C varies with the angular position of the wiper arm. It takes 15 turns for the wiper arm to Show more…

Q.1: Various amplifier and load combinations are measured as listed below using rms values. For each, find the voltage, current, and power gains (Av, Ai, and Ap, respectively) both as ratios and in dB: (a) vi = 25 mV, ii = 100 ̄A, vo = 5 V, RL = AA ̄ (b) vi = 125 ̄V, ii = 100 nA, vo = 1.25 V, RL = 10 k̄ Q.2: A transconductance amplifier with Ri = 2 k̄, Gm = BB mA/V, and Ro = 5 k̄ is fed with a voltage source having a source resistance of 500 ̄ and is loaded with a 1-k̄ resistance. Sketch the circuit and find the voltage gain realized. Q.3: Figure shows a circuit that provides an output voltage vo whose value can be varied by turning the wiper of the 100-k̄ potentiometer. Find the range over which vo can be varied. If the potentiometer is a "20-turn" device, find the change in vo corresponding to each turn of the pot. The V+ = CC, and V- = DD volts. Q.4: A measurement of the open loop gain of an internally compensated op amp at very low frequencies shows it to be EE dB. At 100 kHz it is FF dB. Estimate values for Avo, f̄, and ft.

Intermittent windshield wipers use a variable resistor in an $R C$ circuit to set the delay between successive passes of the wipers. A typical circuit is shown in Figure $\mathrm{P} 23.78 .$ When the switch closes, the capacitor (initially uncharged) begins to charge and the potential at point b begins to increase. A sensor measures the potential difference between points a and b, triggering a pass of the wipers when $V_{\mathrm{b}}=V_{\mathrm{a}}$. (Another part of the circuit, not shown, discharges the capacitor at this time so that the cycle can start again.) a. What value of the variable resistor will give 12 seconds from the start of a cycle to a pass of the wipers? b. To decrease the time, should the variable resistance be increased or decreased?
