The open-loop gain of an amplifier changes by 10 per cent due to the effect of temperature, ageing, etc. A change in gain of not more then 2 per cent is allowed. If the amplifier gain with feedback is 100, find the minimum value of feedback ratio.

We know, A_{f}=\frac{A}{1+ \beta A}
or \frac{dA_{f}}{A_{f}}=\frac{dA}{A}×\frac{1}{1 + βA }
given, \frac{dA}{A}=10 per cent
and \frac{dA_{f}}{A_{f}}=2 per cent
Therefore, \frac{ \frac{dA}{A}}{\frac{dA_{f}}{A_{f}}}=1 + βA
or, \frac{10}{2}= 1 + βA
or, 1 + βA = 5 (8.2)
A_{f}=\frac{A}{1+A \beta }or, A = A_{f} (1 +βA) = 100 × 5 = 500. (8.3)
[From Eqs. (8.2) and (8.3), 1+ β × 500 = 5]
or, β=\frac{4}{500}=0.008
