An RC phase-shift oscillator using an inverting amplifier commonly obtains approximately how much phase shift from its RC feedback network at the oscillation frequency?

  • A0 degrees
  • B90 degrees
  • C180 degrees
  • D360 degrees from each RC section

Correct Answer: C. 180 degrees
Explanation: The inverting amplifier contributes about 180 degrees, while the RC network contributes another 180 degrees so the total loop phase shift is 360 degrees.
