A
The closed-loop system has a limited bandwidth compared to the open-loop system.
B
The open-loop system is more stable across different frequencies than the closed-loop system.
C
The closed-loop system exhibits gain that decreases with increasing frequency, unlike the open-loop system.
D
Both systems have the same frequency response characteristics.
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Answer
In an open‑loop op‑amp the gain is very high at low frequencies but it falls off steeply once the internal pole is reached, so the input‑output relationship changes rapidly with frequency. When negative feedback is applied, the closed‑loop gain is set to a finite value and the op‑amp’s bandwidth is effectively stretched; the gain stays nearly constant up to a new, higher cutoff frequency. This happens because the feedback forces the output to follow the input more closely, reducing the impact of the internal pole. For example, an op‑amp with a 10⁵ open‑loop gain that rolls off at 10 Hz can be set to a closed‑loop gain of 10, giving a flat response up to about 100 kHz. Thus, the closed‑loop system has a lower, more stable gain and a much wider usable frequency range than the open‑loop configuration.
Detailed Explanation
In a closed‑loop circuit the feedback pulls the gain toward a set value. Other options are incorrect because The belief that a closed‑loop circuit has a narrower bandwidth comes from seeing a fixed gain; Some think the open‑loop setup is more stable because it has a higher raw gain.
