THEORY
4.1WHAT IS AMPLIFIER?
Amplifier is an electronic device that increases the power of a signal. An
amplifier is a circuit that contains the amplifying device, such as a Transistor,
Field Effect Transistor or Op-amp, with the output signal being much greater
than that of the input signal.
4.2 AMPLIFIER GAIN
Amplifier gain is simply the ratio of the output divided-by the input.

There are three different kinds of amplifier gain which can be measured;
i.
Voltage Gain (Av)
ii.
Current Gain (Ai )
iii.
Power Gain (Ap)
