🔍 Key Concepts

• Class A, B, and C amplifier conduction angles (how many degrees of the input cycle plate/anode current flows) • Relationship between efficiency and distortion in power amplifiers • How grid drive power and conduction angle change from Class A → Class B → Class C

💭 Think About

• First, recall how many degrees of the input cycle plate current flows in an ideal Class B amplifier. Is it more than, less than, or exactly 180 degrees? • Compare the typical efficiency of Class A, B, and C amplifiers. Where does Class B usually sit on that scale? • Think about distortion: which class is known for very clean output, and which classes accept more distortion for higher efficiency? Where does Class B fit in that tradeoff?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you match conduction angle (in degrees of the cycle) with the correct amplifier class • Verify whether Class B requires more or less grid driving power than Class A for the same output • Check that the chosen option’s efficiency range and distortion description are consistent with a typical Class B power amplifier

Question 1 of 20

Characteristics of a vacuum tube operating as a class B amplifier:

Low plate circuit efficiency, about 25%; practically no grid driving power; plate current flowing for 360 degrees of each cycle; practically no distortion of the output waveshape

Plate circuit efficiency, about 50-60%; plate current flows slightly more than 180 degrees of each cycle, medium power output

High efficiency, up to 80%; plate current drawn in bursts; great distortion of output waveshape

None of the above
