Q.  The rms value of thermal noise voltage is related to Boltzmann's constant k as
- Published on 15 Oct 15

a. Vn is Directly proportional to k2
b. Vn is Directly proportional to k
c. Vn is Directly proportional to √k
d. Vn is Directly proportional to k3

ANSWER: Vn is Directly proportional to √k
 
Noise voltage Vn is given by
√(4R KTB)

Where, K = 1.381 × 10-23 J/K, joules per Kelvin, the Boltzmann constant

B is the bandwidth at which the power Pn is delivered.

T noise temperature

R is the resistance

If K is the Boltzmann's constant, the rms value of thermal noise voltage is proportional to √k.
