1.Easy
−+Vout​Rf​ = 10 kΩVin​ = 1.6 VR1​ = 2 kΩ

The circuit is an inverting amplifier. The op-amp is ideal and runs from ±15 V supplies; its output saturates at ±14 V. Find the output voltage Vout.

Vin = 1.6 VR1 = 2 kΩRf = 10 kΩVsat = ±14 V
Vout = V
2.Easy
−+Vout​Rf​ = 100 kΩVin​ = 0.7 VR1​ = 10 kΩ

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

Vin = 0.7 VR1 = 10 kΩRf = 100 kΩ
Vout = V
3.Medium
−+Vout​Rf​ = 4.7 kΩVin​R1​ = 2 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 = 2 kΩRf = 4.7 kΩVsat = ±13 V
Vin,max = V
4.Medium
−+Vout​R2​ = 10 kΩV1​ = 0.2 VR1​ = 1 kΩV2​ = 1.2 VR3​ = 1 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 = 0.2 VV2 = 1.2 VR1 = R3 = 1 kΩR2 = R4 = 10 kΩ
Vout = V
5.Hard
Vin​V1​Vout​stage 1: invertingR1​ = 2 kΩRf1​ = 2 kΩstage 2: non-invertingR2​ = 100 kΩRf2​ = 47 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 = 0.95 V. Find the output voltage Vout.

R1 = 2 kΩRf1 = 2 kΩR2 = 100 kΩRf2 = 47 kΩVin = 0.95 V
Vout = V
6.Hard
−+Vout​Rf​ = 4.7 kΩV1​ = −0.2 VR1​ = 2 kΩV2​ = 1.9 VR2​ = 10 kΩ

The summing amplifier uses an ideal op-amp with ±15 V supplies. Find the output voltage Vout.

V1 = −0.2 VV2 = 1.9 VR1 = 2 kΩR2 = 10 kΩRf = 4.7 kΩ
Vout = V
