Question

In a multistage amplifier, why is the coupling of stages typically done using capacitors?

A.

To block DC components between stages

B.

To match the impedance of the two stages

C.

To increase the voltage gain of the amplifier

D.

To minimize power dissipation in the circuit

Correct option is A

In a multistage amplifier, each stage usually has its own DC biasing condition. Coupling capacitors are used to: Block DC voltages from one stage reaching the next Allow AC signals to pass between stages Ensure that the biasing of each stage remains independentThis prevents bias shift and distortion while maintaining proper amplification.\text{In a multistage amplifier, each stage usually has its own DC biasing condition. Coupling capacitors are used to:} \\[8pt]\bullet \ \text{Block DC voltages from one stage reaching the next} \\[4pt]\bullet \ \text{Allow AC signals to pass between stages} \\[4pt]\bullet \ \text{Ensure that the biasing of each stage remains independent} \\[8pt]\text{This prevents bias shift and distortion while maintaining proper amplification.}​​
