What term describes the ratio of output power to DC input power of an amplifier?

  1. ALoss factor
  2. BEfficiency
  3. CCurrent gain
  4. DDynamic range

Correct answer: B — Efficiency. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

Efficiency measures how well an amplifier turns DC power from your supply into useful radio frequency output, with the rest lost as heat. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
