Which is not the principle advantage of transformer coupling compared to resistance coupling in audio-frequency amplifiers?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between advantages and disadvantages of a component • What a transformer does in coupling and impedance matching between stages • Typical tradeoffs of transformers: cost, size, and weight

💭 Think About

• Look at each option and ask: is this something designers usually want MORE of in an amplifier stage, or is it a drawback they try to minimize? • Which features of transformer coupling are commonly listed as reasons to choose it over simple resistance coupling? • Is cost/weight/size normally considered a principle advantage or a tradeoff in circuit design?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices describe benefits of transformer coupling versus resistance coupling • Identify which choice describes a drawback (not something you would advertise as an advantage) • Be sure you are picking the option that is clearly not an advantage of transformer coupling

Greater gain per stage

Can provide necessary impedance matching

A & B

A transformer is expensive , heavy , and bulky
