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 huge at low frequencies but falls off steeply as frequency rises, so the input‑output ratio changes quickly with frequency. When negative feedback is applied, the closed‑loop gain is fixed by the resistor network and stays almost constant over a wider band because the feedback forces the output to follow the input more closely. The feedback reduces the effective gain, which in turn pushes the frequency at which the gain starts to drop (the bandwidth) to higher values, giving a flatter, more predictable frequency response. For example, an op‑amp that drops to 1 V/V at 1 MHz in open loop can maintain a 10 V/V closed‑loop gain up to several megahertz, showing how feedback extends usable bandwidth.
Detailed Explanation
When a part of the output is fed back to the input, the amplifier’s gain is limited and falls off as frequency rises. Other options are incorrect because It is common to think a closed‑loop setup can run at a wider bandwidth than an open‑loop one, but actually feedback reduces the bandwidth because it forces the amplifier to keep its gain lower; Many students believe the open‑loop amplifier is the more stable choice, yet it reacts wildly to frequency changes.
