In a $CE$ transistor amplifier,there is a current and voltage gain associated with the circuit. In other words,there is a power gain. Considering power as a measure of energy,does the circuit violate the law of conservation of energy?
(N/A) No,the law of conservation of energy is not violated. The increase in the energy of the output $AC$ signal is derived from the energy stored in the $DC$ power supply (battery).
When an amplifier is used,the $DC$ source provides the necessary energy to boost the weak input signal. Therefore,the energy of the output signal is equal to the energy of the input $AC$ signal plus the energy drawn from the $DC$ supply.
Thus,the law of conservation of energy is strictly maintained.
