Power Amplifier
The power amplifier is an electronic amplifier designed to maximize the signal strength of a given input. The input signal strength is enhanced to a high enough level to drive output devices such as speakers, headphones, RF (Radio frequency) transmitters, etc. Unlike voltage / current amplifiers, the power amplifier is designed to drive core loads directly and is used as a storage block in the amplifier series.
Maximum Efficiency Criterion
In every field of engineering, there is a tremendous use of the machine and all those machines are equipped for their popular work efficiency so it very much important for operation engineers to monitor the efficiency of the machine, planning engineers to check out the efficiency of the machine before installing the machine and design engineers to design machine for higher efficiency than and then the utility will procure their products that will ultimately lead to profit and loss of the company. It indicates the importance of efficiency right from the initial stage as manufacturing units, intermediate stage as planning coordinators, and end-users stage as a utility.

**Description:**
The image illustrates an amplifier circuit topology, as highlighted in the figure labeled "Figure 1.21." The task is to compute the gain of the amplifier. This diagram is crucial for understanding the relationships between various components in an amplifier circuit and deducing the overall voltage gain.
**Circuit Components:**
- **\( v_{\text{in}} \):** The input voltage source.
- **\( r_{\pi} \):** The input resistance of the amplifier, marked as a resistor.
- **\( v_{\pi} \):** The voltage across the input resistance.
- **\( i_{\pi} \):** The current flowing through the input resistance.
- **\( g_{m}v_{\pi} \):** A dependent current source modeled as the transconductance (\( g_{m} \)) multiplying the voltage (\( v_{\pi} \)) across the input resistance.
- **\( R_{L} \):** The load resistance connected to the output.
- **\( v_{\text{out}} \):** The output voltage across the load resistance.
- **Ground Symbols:** Indicate the common reference potential for the circuit.
By analyzing the structure of this amplifier circuit, important characteristics like the gain can be deciphered using formulas that relate these parameters in a potentially practical scenario or problem-solving approach.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F9d5136e2-77c5-469a-90c5-ae7b23320575%2Fb043da37-4f2f-420a-94b6-ba5fe165ce71%2Fcbhzj2q_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
