1. (a) State the reasons for the increase in te bandwidth of an amplifier with feedback.
(b) State the effect of voltage shunt on the input and output impedances of an amplifier with feedback.
(c) Why RC oscillators cannot be used at radio frequencies?
(d) Define "unity gain bandwidth" and "full power bandwidth" of an operational amplifier.
(e) Why an operational amplifier is not used in open-loop condition for linear aplications?
(f) What is "resolution time" of a binary circuit?
(g) State the applications of monostable multivibrator.

2. (a) Prove the negative feed back in amplifiers reduces the gain and increases the signal-to- noise ratio. State the assumptions made in your derivations.

(b) Find the voltage gain and the feedback factor of the feedback amplifier that produces 90 watts of power with 0.05% distortion. The local resistance is 8 ohms. The output stage supplies 90 watts to the 8 ohm load in the non-feedback case with 4% harmonic distortion The input single for 90 watts of output is to be 1.0 volt with feedback.

3. (a) State and explain Barkhausen criterion for electronic systems to oscillate with feedback.
