4. In the circuit of Op-amp given V- stands for _________
In the circuit of Op-amp given V- stands for inverting input
a) Non-inverting input
b) Non-inverting output
c) Inverting input
d) Inverting output
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: V+: Non-inverting input and V- : Inverting input.

5. When the input voltage difference is small in magnitude, the Op-amp behaves as ____________
a) Non-linear device
b) Linear device
c) Complex device
d) Bipolar device
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: When │vp-vn│is small then Op-amp acts as a linear device as the output voltage is a linear function of input voltages.

6. If the output voltage is not a linear function of input voltage then ____________
a) Op-amp acts a linear device
b) Op-amp acts as a non-linear device
c) Op-amp acts a polar device
d) Op-amp acts as an inverter
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: If output voltage is not a linear function of input voltage then Op-amp acts as a non-linear device.

7. The negative feedback causes the input voltage difference to ____________
a) 1
b) Increase
c) Decrease
d) 0
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Negative feedback means a signal is fed back from output terminals to the non-inverting input terminals and this results in a decrease in input voltage difference.

8. Find the gain for the following circuit.
The gain for the circuit is -2 at the negative terminal of the Op-amp
a) -2
b) 2
c) -1
d) 1
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: In this circuit, the only node is at the negative terminal of the Op-amp (say Vn) and by ideal rules of Op-amp, Vn= Vp =0(in this circuit). Gain= Vout/Vin= -R2/R1.

9. Calculate the gain for the Op-amp given.
The gain for the Op-amp given is 1.390
a) 0.719
b) 2.572
c) 1.390
d) 1.237
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Gain= Vout/Vin= -R2/R1 = -5.98*10-3/4.3*10-3.

10. Given Op-amp is ideal. Calculate vo if va=1v and vb=0v.
The vo is -2.5v if va=1v & vb=0v for ideal Op-amp
a) -4v
b) -2.5v
c) 4v
d) 2.5v
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: In the given circuit, a negative feedback exists between Op-amp’s output and its inverting input (voltage here is 0, as vp =vb=0 and vn=vp). Node-voltage equation is i50=i125=i0.
i50= (va-vn)/50 =1/50 mA.
I125= (v0-vn)/125 = v0/125 mA.
1/50 + v0/125 = 0.
v0 is -2.5volts.
