E7B08 : Why are switching amplifiers more efficient than linear amplifiers?
A Switching amplifiers operate at higher voltages
B The switching device is at saturation or cutoff most of the time
C Linear amplifiers have high gain resulting in higher harmonic content
D Switching amplifiers use push-pull circuits
Correct Answer: The switching device is at saturation or cutoff most of the time
