GATE 2022 BM – Question 57

Analog and Digital Electronics · Operational Amplifiers · 2 marks · Numerical answer

The shown ideal op-amp has infinite gain and bandwidth and ±10 V supplies. Inputs 0.1 V and 1 V connect via 1 kΩ to the inverting and non-inverting terminals respectively. Feedback resistors are 2 kΩ to the inverting node and 5 kΩ to the non-inverting node. Find Vₒ in V to one decimal.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4.6 to 4.6

Explanation

Negative feedback dominates and the output remains within the rails, so both input nodes equal v. KCL at the inverting node gives (v−.1)/1+(v−Vo)/2=0, hence Vo=3v−.2. At the non-inverting node, (v−1)/1+(v−Vo)/5=0, so Vo=6v−5. Equating gives v=1.6 V and Vo=4.6 V.
