The output of a particular Op-amp increases 8V in 12s. The slew rate is .

the operational amplifier (op-amp) electronics physics properties of an ideal op-amp

  1. $90 V/\mu s$

  2. $0.67 V/\mu s$

  3. $1.5 V/\mu s$

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given,

$\triangle V=8V$
$\triangle t=12 s$
To find, Slew rate$=?$
Slew rate is defined as the voltage change in $\triangle V$ with respect to changing time $\triangle t$
$\therefore$ Slew rate $=\cfrac{\triangle V}{\triangle t}$
$\Rightarrow $ Slew rate$=\cfrac{8V}{12s}$
$\Rightarrow$ Slew rate$=0.666$
$\Rightarrow$ Slew Rate$\simeq 0.67$

 Which among the following amplifier circuit exhibit the output voltage in the form of phase inversion?

the operational amplifier (op-amp) electronics physics properties of an ideal op-amp

  1. Adder

  2. Substractor

  3. Integrator

  4. Differentiator

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In any adder circuitry of Op-amp, the output voltage must be equivalent to the summation of all input voltages where each input voltage is a multiple of constant gain factor. This circuit is usually more similar to inverting scalar type of amplifier with an exception of possessing more than one input. Therefore, output voltage of adder or summer Op-amp is phase inverted.

Referring to subtractor, integrator and differentiator amplifiers, the output voltage of subtractor deals with the difference between two input signals, while integrator generates its output voltage in terms of integral of input voltage whereas the output voltage of differentiator is proportional to change in input in accordance to time.

Which among the following are the major responsible reasons for the cause of 'Slew Rate'?

the operational amplifier (op-amp) electronics physics properties of an ideal op-amp

  1. Current limiting

  2. Saturation of internal stages due to application of high frequency & amplitude signal

  3. Both a & b

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C

Which among the following is also used as a buffer or an isolation amplifier?

the operational amplifier (op-amp) electronics physics properties of an ideal op-amp

  1. Inverting amplifier

  2. Non-inverting amplifier

  3. Unity Follower

  4. Emitter Follower

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Unity Follower circuit provides buffering or can be also used as an isolation amplifier which has a provision to obtain a gain at unity despite the requisite of any phase reversal. Emitter follower circuit is also semantic to unity follower only with an exception of gain which is in very much proximity of being absolutely equal to 1 (unity level). 

Unity Follower is supposed to be used as buffer since it becomes quite feasible to transfer the input voltage in the form of output voltage along with the prevention of load resistance from loading down to input source simultaneously. This becomes possible because the value of input resistance tends to infinity & output resistance equals to zero.

  1. -400 mV

    • 400 mV

  3. -200 mV

  4. +200 mV

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Voltage gain and output voltage are related by the formula $A _v=\dfrac{output \ voltage}{input \ voltage}$. Substituting the value of input voltage, we get, output voltage = - 20 x 20mV = -400 mV

properties of an ideal op-amp electronics physics the operational amplifier (op-amp)

  1. Current controlled current source

  2. current controlled voltage source

  3. Voltage controlled voltage source

  4. Voltage controlled current source

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The ideal opamp voltage is maintained constant. It is controlled by the input voltage. Thus the output of an opamp is controlled by the source (input) voltage

The slew rate of an ideal opamp is

properties of an ideal op-amp electronics physics the operational amplifier (op-amp)

  1. Infinite

  2. Zero

  3. Half of the voltage gain

  4. 10 times the voltage gain

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In an ideal opamp, output follows the input instantly and hence the time delay is zero. slew rate is calculated as the ratio of change in voltage at the output to time taken for this action to take place. If time delay is zero, the slew rate will be infinite
