You are given two amplifiers, A and B, to connect in cascade between a 10-mV, 100-k source (S) and a 100- load (L). The amplifiers have voltage gain, input resistance, and output resistance as follows: for A, 100 V/V, 10 k , 10 k , respectively; for B, 1 V/V, 100 k , 100 , respectively. Your problem is to decide how the amplifiers should be connected so that the voltage gain is maximum.

• A. SABL
• B. SBAL
• C. Both have the same voltage gain
• D. None as neither combination is able to amplify the input signal
