output impedance of the last stage should be:
Very high
Intermediate
Very small
Zero
Correct Answer : c
Explanation : Impedance mismatching is known as loading effect. Thus to avoid
loading effect the input resistance of amplifier should be as high as possible while
the output resistance of the amplifier should be as low as possible.
