For example, a bias voltage is applied to a transistor in an electronic amplifier to allow the transistor to operate in a particular region of its transconductance curve. For vacuum tubes, a(much higher) grid bias voltage is also often applied to the grid electrodes for precisely the same reason. 2, record 1, English, - grid%20bias%20voltage

We have to consider what type of gain device is suitable for this application. Actually the choice is simple : Bipolar devices have too low an input impedance to be useable, and tubes have too little gain to be used in a single stage power amplifier. The only usable device is the power Mosfet, which is a transconductance device like the tube, and has a high input impedance, but operates with enough gain at high enough currents to be driven directly by line-level signal. 3, record 8, English, - single%20stage%20power%20amplifier
