A sensor behaves like a 1 V source with an internal resistance Rs = 22 kΩ. It feeds a load RL = 2.2 kΩ through an ideal voltage follower (unity-gain buffer). For comparison, find the load voltage VL if the load were connected directly to the sensor without the buffer.
Op-amp circuits worksheet with answers
1.Easy
Vs = 1 VRs = 22 kΩRL = 2.2 kΩ
VL = V
2.Easy
The op-amp is ideal and runs from ±15 V supplies. Find the output voltage Vout.
Vin = −0.4 VR1 = 10 kΩRf = 100 kΩ
Vout = V
3.Medium
The op-amp is ideal and runs from ±15 V supplies; its output saturates at ±14 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 = 4.7 kΩRf = 100 kΩVsat = ±14 V
Vin,max = V
4.Medium
Choose the feedback resistor Rf that gives this non-inverting amplifier a voltage gain of 51.
R1 = 100 kΩAv = 51
Rf = kΩ
5.Hard
The summing amplifier uses an ideal op-amp with ±15 V supplies. Find the output voltage Vout.
V1 = 1.4 VV2 = −1 VR1 = 4.7 kΩR2 = 100 kΩRf = 22 kΩ
Vout = V
6.Hard
The op-amp is ideal and runs from ±15 V supplies. The resistor ratios are not matched. Find the output voltage Vout.
V1 = 0.9 VV2 = 1.1 VR1 = 22 kΩR2 = 47 kΩR3 = 4.7 kΩR4 = 22 kΩ
