An amplifier has a power gain of 100. Its db gain is ________________?

Correct answer: B. 20 db

  • A. 10 db
  • B. 20 db
  • C. 40 db
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

Power gain in decibels is 10 log₁₀(Pout/Pin), so 10 log₁₀(100) = 20 dB. Using 20 log for a power ratio would incorrectly give 40 dB.
