A sensor behaves like a 1.5 V source with an internal resistance Rs = 47 kΩ. It feeds a load RL = 10 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 = 1.5 VRs = 47 kΩRL = 10 kΩ
VL = V
2.Easy
The op-amp is ideal and runs from ±15 V supplies. Find the output voltage Vout.
Vin = 1.3 VR1 = 10 kΩRf = 22 kΩ
Vout = V
3.Medium
Choose the feedback resistor Rf that gives this non-inverting amplifier a voltage gain of 8.
R1 = 1 kΩAv = 8
Rf = kΩ
4.Medium
Choose the feedback resistor Rf that gives this non-inverting amplifier a voltage gain of 20.
R1 = 10 kΩAv = 20
Rf = kΩ
5.Hard
The summing amplifier uses an ideal op-amp with ±15 V supplies. Find the output voltage Vout.
V1 = 0.8 VV2 = 0.1 VR1 = 10 kΩR2 = 47 kΩRf = 4.7 kΩ
Vout = V
6.Hard
The integrator uses an ideal op-amp with ±15 V supplies; its output saturates at ±14 V. The capacitor is uncharged when a constant input Vin = 2 V is applied at t = 0. Find the output voltage Vout at t = 500 ms.
Vin = 2 VR = 100 kΩC = 1 µFVsat = ±14 Vt = 500 ms
