Question: 1 . Voltage Gain: Assuming the second stage is set for maximum gain ( meaning its output resistance is very low ) , the voltage

1. Voltage Gain:
Assuming the second stage is set for maximum gain (meaning its output resistance is very low), the voltage gain of the first stage can be calculated using the simplified formula for a common-emitter amplifier:
Av1=-gmv1*Rc1
where:
gmv1= Transconductance of Q1
Rc1= Collector resistor of Q1
or Q1(2N3906), gmv138 mA/V (assuming typical operating conditions).
Rc1=R3+R4
Rc1=33+22=55
Therefore, Av1=38mAV55k2.09M.
Second Stage
The maximum voltage gain of the second stage can be calculated using the same formula:
Av2max=gmv2Rc2
Explanation:
where:
gmv2= Transconductance of Q2
Rc2= Collector resistor of Q2
For Q2(2N3,904),gmv260mAV (assuming typical operating conditions).
Rc2=R8+R9=47k+5k=52k.
Therefore,Av2max=60mAV52k3.12M.2. Overall Voltage Gain: Explanation: The overall voltage gain of the two-stage amplifier is the product of the individual stages' gains: Av=Av1Av2=
