Define positive feedback in systems and explain how positive feedback is responsible for the loud screeching noise that is heard
1 answer:
Answer:
Positive feedback is a high-pitched sound that comes out of speakers when something about the arrangement or the calibration of the audio system is not suitable for the desired setting. And if you aren't talking about speakers positive feedback occurs to increase the change or output
Explanation:
When you speak in front of a large audience, you obviously have to be loud enough to be audible to everyone present. Sure, you can shout to be loud enough, but that’s not what I, or anyone else (including your doctor), would recommend. Therefore, you speak into a microphone (or simply, a mic). The mic transmits your voice to another device, known as an amplifier, which enhances the amplitude of the signals that it received from the mic. These ‘amplified’ signals are then sent to the speakers (audio output), where electrical signals are converted into sound and subsequently discharged to the audience. However, if the sound discharged from the speakers somehow reaches back to the mic (which ideally shouldn’t happen), the process discussed above kick-starts again, i.e., the mic transmits sound to the amplifier, which then transmits to the speaker, and back to the mic… and then this goes on and on. The result is that you hear a high-pitched squeal, which gets louder and louder (due to the reinforced amplitude as a result of multiple rounds of amplification) until it is corrected.
