An oscillator differs from an amplifier because it_____________?

Correct answer: B. Requires no input signal

  • A. Has more gain
  • B. Requires no input signal
  • C. Requires no d.c. supply
  • D. Always has the same input

Explanation

An amplifier needs an external input signal, whereas an oscillator generates its own periodic output from noise and circuit feedback. Both normally require a DC supply, so option c is not correct.
