The three standard forms of analog amplifier biasing are:class A - the amplifier is biased in the center of its linear operating range, this is the most linear but least efficient type of amplifier (because the transistors or tubes are always conducting, even when there is no signal to ampliify).class B - the amplifier is biased at the cutoff point, this is an efficient amplifier but is only linear if operated as a push-pull amplifier (because the transistors or tubes are in cutoff and not conducting when there is no signal and through one half of every cycle, a class B push-pull amplifier has two sections that operate on alternate halves of the cycle).class C - the amplifier is biased in hard cutoff so that only the peaks of the input signal are amplified, this is the most efficient amplifier (because the transistors or tubes may be in cutoff and not conducting for more the 85% of the time) but it is not capable of linear amplification. An amplifier biased as class C is only suitable for use in RF transmitter power stages, where a resonant LC tank circuit will be excited into oscillation by the output of the amplifier and complete the missing parts of the cycle.There are other forms of biasing (e.g. class AB) analog amplifiers that get some of the advantages of two of the standard forms. There are also forms of amplifiers having other nonstandard classes (e.g. class D) that are not analog amplifiers, but instead operate by amplifying pulses.
Efficiency of class C amplifier is approximately 100%.
The so-called "Class-A" amplifier is the configuration with the least distortion. Active stages are biased to operate within the linear portion of their characteristics, and drive is controlled to avoid saturation or cutoff. Any remaining distortion is due exclusively to unavoidable non-linearities in components.
Class A. Wikipedia has a really good set of data to give you a start on understanding amplifier classes.
class C
Class C amplifier.. A class D amplifier is more efficient than class B, and is more efficient than class C as well.

A class D monoblock is a highly efficient and more powerful amp suitable for sub-woofers. But they may not be that suitable for speakers/tweeter due to high distortion.
A Class T amplifier will typically cost around $20 to $40. The Class T amplifier is a small amplifier that produce a great amount of audio volume for it size.
A class "A" amplifier amplifies the entire waveform, a class "B" amplifier only amplifies the first 1/2 of the wave form. See the images in the related link.
class b amplifier is in between of a and c.so dont warry abt ds
the approximate efficiency of a class b linear RF AM amplifier is 35%
Efficiency of class C amplifier is approximately 100%.
Class B operated amplifier is used extensively for audio amplifiers that require high power outputs. Its also used as the driver and power amplifier stages of transmitters.
Common Emitter - Class A Amplifier.
A Class D amplifier is a switching or pulse-width modulation amplifier. Class D amplifiers can have either digital or analog inputs and are used for home theater system and mobile phones.
