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
