5. While performing an experiment to determine the gain for an ideal operational amplifier having finite gain, a student mistakenly used the equation 1 + R2/R1 where R2 is the feedback resistance. What is the percentage error in his result? Given A is the finite voltage gain of the ideal amplifier used.
a) (R2/R1)/(A+ R2/R1) X 100%
b) (1+R2/R1)/(A+R2/R1) X 100%
c) (1+R2/R1)/(A+1+R2/R1) X 100%
d) (R2/R1)/(A+1+R2/R1) X 100%
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The correct formula is (1+R2/R1)/(1+((1+R2/R1)/A)).

6. The finite voltage gain of a non-inverting operational amplifier is A and the resistance used is R1 and R2 in which R2 is the feedback resistance. Under what conditions it can one use the expression 1 + R2/R1 to determine the gain of the amplifier?
a) A ~ R2/R1
b) A >> R2/R1
c) A << R2/R1
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The formula is valid for the ideal case in which the value of A is infinite, practically it should be very large when compared to R2/R1 .

8. For designing a non-inverting amplifier with a gain of 2 at the maximum output voltage of 10 V and the current in the voltage divider is to be 10 μA the resistance required are R1 and R2 where R2 is used to provide negative feedback. Then
a) R1 = 0.5 MΩ and R2 = 0.5 MΩ
b) R1 = 0.5 kΩ and R2 = 0.5 kΩ
c) R1 = 5 MΩ and R2 = 5 MΩ
d) R1 = 5 kΩ and R2 = 5 kΩ
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: 1 + R2/R1 = 2 and 10/(R1+R2) = 10 μA. Solve for R1 and R2.

9. It is required to connect a transducer having an open-circuit voltage of 1 V and a source resistance of 1 MΩ to a load of 1-kΩ resistance. Find the load voltage if the connection is done (a) directly and (b) through a unity-gain voltage follower.
a) 1 μV and 1 mV respectively
b) 1 mV and 1 V respectively
c) 0.1 μV and 0.1 mV respectively
d) 0.1 mV and 0.1 V respectively
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: When a unity gain follower is uses then input signal is equal to output signal. When connected directly, output signal is given by 1 X 1kΩ/1MΩ or 1mV.

10. Consider the figure given below. If the resistance R1 is disconnected from the ground and connected to a third power source v3, then expression for the value of
v0 is
Find expression for the value of v0 if resistance R1 is disconnected from ground
a) 2v1 + 4v2 − 3v3
b) 6v1 + 8v2 − 3v3
c) 6v1 + 4v2 − 9v3
d) 3v1 + 4v2 − 3v3
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: When a third power source is connected to the resistance of 1kΩ, then also the potential between the two input terminals of op amps remains the same. Using this fact the expression c is obtained.
