When a differential amplifier is operated single-ended,…….
- A.
The output is grounded
- B.
One input is grounded and signal is applied to the other
- C.
Both inputs are connected together
- D.
The output is not inverted
Correct Answer
B. One input is grounded and signal is applied to the otherExplanation
When a differential amplifier is operated single-ended, one input is grounded and the signal is applied to the other. This means that one input of the differential amplifier is connected to the reference ground, while the signal is applied to the other input. This configuration allows for the amplification of the voltage difference between the two inputs, which is useful in many applications such as amplifying small signals or rejecting common-mode noise.Rate this question:

In differential-mode, …………….
- A.
Opposite polarity signals are applied to the inputs
- B.
The gain is one
- C.
The outputs are of different amplitudes
- D.
Only one supply voltage is used
Correct Answer
A. Opposite polarity signals are applied to the inputsExplanation
In differential-mode, opposite polarity signals are applied to the inputs. This means that one input receives a positive signal while the other receives a negative signal. This configuration allows for the cancellation of common-mode noise, as any noise that is present in both signals will be subtracted out. This is useful in applications where noise rejection is important, such as in audio or communication systems.Rate this question:

In the common mode,
- A.
Both inputs are grounded
- B.
The outputs are connected together
- C.
An identical signal appears on both the inputs
- D.
The output signal are in-phase
Correct Answer
C. An identical signal appears on both the inputsExplanation
In the common mode, an identical signal appears on both the inputs. This means that both inputs receive the same signal with the same amplitude and phase. This can occur when there is a common source or noise that affects both inputs equally. In this scenario, the outputs will also be connected together and will have the same signal, resulting in the output signals being in-phase.Rate this question:

The slew rate of an op-amp whose output increases 8V in 12μs is
- A.
90 V/μs
- B.
0.67 V/μs
- C.
1.5 V/μs
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
B. 0.67 V/μsExplanation
The slew rate of an op-amp is the maximum rate at which its output voltage can change. In this question, the output voltage increases by 8V in 12μs. To find the slew rate, we divide the change in voltage by the time it takes, giving us a rate of approximately 0.67 V/μs. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.67 V/μs.Rate this question:

For an Op-amp with negative feedback, the output is
- A.
Equal to the input
- B.
Increased
- C.
Fed back to the inverting input
- D.
Fed back to the non-inverting input
Correct Answer
C. Fed back to the inverting inputExplanation
In an operational amplifier (op-amp) with negative feedback, the output is fed back to the inverting input. This feedback mechanism helps to stabilize the amplifier's gain and reduce distortion. By feeding the output back to the inverting input, the op-amp adjusts its output to minimize the difference between the inverting and non-inverting inputs. This causes the output to be proportional to the input signal, resulting in a high gain and accurate amplification.Rate this question:
-

A certain inverting amplifier has a closed-loop voltage gain of 25. The Op-amp has an open-loop voltage gain of 100,000. If an Op-amp with an open-loop voltage gain of 200,000 is substituted in the arrangement, the closed-loop gain
- A.
Doubles
- B.
Drops to 12.5
- C.
Remains at 25
- D.
Increases slightly
Correct Answer
C. Remains at 25Explanation
The closed-loop gain of an inverting amplifier is determined by the ratio of the feedback resistor to the input resistor. It is independent of the open-loop gain of the operational amplifier. Therefore, substituting an op-amp with a higher open-loop gain will not affect the closed-loop gain of the amplifier. The closed-loop gain will remain at 25.Rate this question:
-
- 8.
The Op-amp can amplify
- A.
A.c. signals only
- B.
D.c. signals only
- C.
Both a.c. and d.c. signals
- D.
Neither d.c. nor a.c. signals
Correct Answer
C. Both a.c. and d.c. signalsExplanation
An operational amplifier (Op-amp) is a device that can amplify both alternating current (a.c.) and direct current (d.c.) signals. It is designed to have a high gain and can amplify signals with frequencies ranging from zero to very high frequencies. This makes it suitable for amplifying both a.c. signals, which have varying amplitudes and frequencies, and d.c. signals, which have constant amplitudes. Therefore, the Op-amp is capable of amplifying both types of signals, making the correct answer "both a.c. and d.c. signals".Rate this question:

The current flowing through emitter resistance of a differential amplifier is …….
- A.
Half of either collector current
- B.
Equal to either collector current
- C.
Two times either collector current
- D.
Equal to the difference in base currents
Correct Answer
C. Two times either collector currentExplanation
The current flowing through the emitter resistance of a differential amplifier is two times either collector current. This is because in a differential amplifier, the emitter current is divided equally between the two transistors. Therefore, each collector current is equal to half of the emitter current. Since the current flowing through the emitter resistance is the sum of the collector currents, it will be two times either collector current.Rate this question:

If the input to a comparator is a sine wave, the output is a
- A.
Ramp voltage
- B.
Sine wave
- C.
Rectangular wave
- D.
Sawtooth wave
Correct Answer
C. Rectangular waveExplanation
A comparator is a device that compares two input voltages and produces an output based on the comparison. In this case, if the input to the comparator is a sine wave, the comparator will compare the varying amplitude of the sine wave with a reference voltage. Whenever the amplitude of the sine wave exceeds the reference voltage, the output of the comparator will switch to a high state, and when the amplitude is below the reference voltage, the output will switch to a low state. This behavior of switching between high and low states produces a rectangular wave as the output.Rate this question:
