Concept:

A negative feedback network is shown below.

F2 U.B Madhu 30.12.19 D3

\(\frac{C}{R} = \frac{A}{{1 + {A_\beta }}} = {A_{eL}}\)

Where A is the gain of the amplifier without feedback and feedback gain = β

Calculation:

Case 1:

Gain without feedback, A = 200

Gain with feedback ACL = 100

\(100 = \frac{{200}}{{1 + 200\;\beta }}\)

\(\beta = \frac{1}{{200}}\)

Case 2:

Gain with feedback, ACL = 150

Feedback, \(\beta = \frac{1}{{200}}\)

\(150 = \frac{A}{{1 + A \times \frac{1}{{200}}}} \)

\( A = 600\)
