An oscillator employs___________feedback?
Correct answer: A. Positive
- A. Positive
- B. Negative
- C. Neither positive nor negative
- D. Data insufficient
Explanation
An oscillator uses positive feedback so that a portion of the output reinforces the input and sustains the oscillations. Negative feedback generally reduces gain and stabilizes an amplifier rather than producing oscillation.
