つた。By the way, when this type of feedback amplifier is used as a speaker driving circuit, the feedback amplifier applies forward and reverse currents to the voice coil as an output signal to drive the speaker back and forth. However, after the speaker cone is pushed out or pulled into the voice coil, a counter electromotive force is generated by the Fleming's right-hand rule when trying to return to the normal position by the damper, and this counter electromotive force is generated via the feedback circuit. It was returned to the first stage. Therefore, this counter electromotive force was superimposed on the feedback signal of the amplifier itself, and the difference between the original output signal and the input signal could not be amplified. This causes a problem that the original feedback circuit is affected by the speaker.
