4. Apply the FG output as v1 and display the opamp output vo and the amplifier output
v2 on channels I and II of the CRO respectively, selecting channel I for triggering
the CRO. Adjust the Gain Control potentiometer to obtain an amplitude of about 1 V
for vo. Adjust the D-C Offset control again, if necessary, to ensure that the opamp
output voltage vo is a pure a-c voltage with zero average value.
5. Sketch the observed waveforms, indicating the scales correctly. Note the major
differences between the two waveforms. Try to match the upper and lower halves of
the two waveforms by shifting one of them up/down by the CRO channel SHIFT
control, and note down the observed results. Calculate the positive and negative
peak currents IC1m and IC2m supplied to the load through the npn and pnp transistors
respectively, by using the equation:
v2 = RL iC1 when v2 > 0, and v2 = RL iC2 when v2 < 0.
6. Display the waveforms of the voltages vC1 and vC2 one by one on channel II, keeping
vo on channel I for reference, using a-c coupling of the CRO. Note that the flat
segments of the waveforms of vC1 and vC2 correspond to the d-c power supply levels
+12V and 12V respectively. Calculate the peak values IC1m and IC2m of the two
transistor currents iC1 and iC2 from the waveforms of vC1 and vC2 by using the
equations vC1 = 12 10iC1 and vC2 = 12 10iC2 (note that iC2 is negative). Compare
these values with those obtained in the previous step,
7. Change the dotted line connection from the right end of the 10k resistance
changed to position B, and repeat steps 5 and 6.
8. Keeping the FG output at the same level throughout, measure the amplifier output
voltage v2 at frequencies in the1-2-5 sequence from 50 Hz to 5 kHz, and plot the
frequency response of the audio amplifier on a semi-log graph paper.
9. Replace RL by the loudspeaker and increase the amplitude of v1, if necessary, to find
out how much input voltage is required for producing a clearly audible sound from
the loudspeaker.
10. Set up the condenser microphone circuit given in Fig. 7.2. Apply the microphone
output instead of the FG output as v1 to the amplifier. Speak into the microphone and
test whether normal voice input to the microphone can produce adequate sound from
the loudspeaker.
