1.Easy
−+Vout​Rf​ = 47 kΩVin​ = −1.2 VR1​ = 2 kΩ

The circuit is an inverting amplifier. The op-amp is ideal and runs from ±15 V supplies; its output saturates at ±12 V. Find the output voltage Vout.

Vin = −1.2 VR1 = 2 kΩRf = 47 kΩVsat = ±12 V
Vout = V
2.Easy
−+Vout​Rf​ = 100 kΩVin​ = 0.3 VR1​ = 10 kΩ

The op-amp is ideal and runs from ±15 V supplies. Find the output voltage Vout.

Vin = 0.3 VR1 = 10 kΩRf = 100 kΩ
Vout = V
3.Medium
−+Vout​R2​ = 10 kΩV1​ = 2 VR1​ = 2 kΩV2​ = 0.3 VR3​ = 2 kΩR4​ = 10 kΩ

The difference amplifier uses an ideal op-amp with ±15 V supplies, with R3 = R1 and R4 = R2. Find the output voltage Vout.

V1 = 2 VV2 = 0.3 VR1 = R3 = 2 kΩR2 = R4 = 10 kΩ
Vout = V
4.Medium
−+Vout​Rf​ = 2 kΩVin​R1​ = 1 kΩ

The op-amp is ideal and runs from ±15 V supplies; its output saturates at ±13 V. The inverting amplifier is driven by a sine wave. Find the largest input amplitude Vin,max (peak value) for which the output does not clip.

R1 = 1 kΩRf = 2 kΩVsat = ±13 V
Vin,max = V
5.Hard
Vin​V1​Vout​stage 1: invertingR1​ = 10 kΩRf1​ = 100 kΩstage 2: non-invertingR2​ = 100 kΩRf2​ = 1 kΩ

Two ideal op-amp stages are connected in cascade: an inverting amplifier (R1, Rf1) followed by a non-inverting amplifier (R2 to ground, Rf2 in the feedback). Both run from ±15 V supplies. The input is Vin = −0.7 V. Find the output voltage Vout.

R1 = 10 kΩRf1 = 100 kΩR2 = 100 kΩRf2 = 1 kΩVin = −0.7 V
Vout = V
6.Hard
−+Vout​Rf​ = 10 kΩV1​ = 0.8 VR1​ = 1 kΩV2​ = 0.3 VR2​ = 100 kΩIf​

The summing amplifier uses an ideal op-amp with ±15 V supplies. Find the current If through the feedback resistor, flowing towards the output.

V1 = 0.8 VV2 = 0.3 VR1 = 1 kΩR2 = 100 kΩRf = 10 kΩ
If = mA
