    Two amplifiers are connected one after the other in series (cascaded). The first amplifier has a voltage gain of 10 and the second has a voltage gain of 20. If the input signal is 0.01 volt, calculate the output ac signal.
    Ans : Voltage gain of the first amplifier, V1 = 10

    Voltage gain of the second amplifier, V2 = 20

    Input signal voltage, Vi = 0.01 V

    Output AC signal voltage = Vo

    The total voltage gain of a two-stage cascaded amplifier is given by the product of voltage gains of both the stages, i.e.,

    V = V1 × V2

    = 10 × 20 = 200

    We have the relation:



    V0 = V × Vi

    = 200 × 0.01 = 2 V

    Therefore, the output AC signal of the given amplifier is 2 V.
