As a power amplifier is tuned, what reading on its grid current meter indicates the best neutralization?
- AMinimum grid current
- BMaximum grid current
- CA maximum change in grid current as the output circuit is changed
- DA minimum change in grid current as the output circuit is changed
Correct answer: D — A minimum change in grid current as the output circuit is changed. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
When you tune a power amplifier, neutralization cancels unwanted feedback that can cause instability. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
