 An ideal op-amp has infinite bandwidth. Therefore, any frequency signal from 0 to $\infty$ Hz can be amplified without attenuation.

An ideal Opamp is an ideal

  1. Current controlled current source

  2. current controlled voltage source

  3. Voltage controlled voltage source

  4. Voltage controlled current source


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

  1. Infinite

  2. Zero

  3. Half of the voltage gain

  4. 10 times the voltage gain


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

An opamp has a supply voltage of 9V AND -9V at its power terminals. What is the maximum output voltage one can obtain by varying the voltage across the inverting and non inverting terminals 

  1. Greater than 9V

  2. 9V

  3. 18V

  4. Can be infinity depending on the voltage gain of the opamp


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

maximum voltage that can obtained will be equal to the supply voltage w.r.t ground and beyond which the amplifier will saturate

An AC signal with frequencies 1000 Hz, 1500 Hz and 2500 Hz are fed to the inverting terminal of an opamp. The voltage level of all these signals are 2V. If 1000 Hz signal is amplified by 20 times, then

  1. 2500 Hz signal will get amplified by 50 times

  2. 2500 Hz signal will get amplified by 20 times

  3. 1500 Hz signal will get amplified by 15 times

  4. 2500 Hz signal will get amplified by 10 times

The ideal opamp has the following characteristics

  1. Input resistance = Infinity; Voltage gain = Infinity

  2. Input resistance = zero; Voltage gain = Infinity

  3. Input resistance = zero; Voltage gain = zero

  4. Input resistance = Infinity; Voltage gain = zero


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The ideal op-amp has infinite high input resistance and infinite voltage gain.

The ideal op-amp will have infinite voltage gain.Op-amp are devices that many times are used to function as amplifiers. A voltage is input into the op-amp and as output, it produces the voltage amplified.
An ideal op-amp will have infinite high input resistance.This will ensure that the op-amp causes no loading in the circuit.

The open loop voltage gain in an opamp 

  1. reduces if voltage across the inverting and non inverting terminal are same

  2. reduces if voltage across the inverting terminal is zero

  3. increases if voltage across the inverting and non inverting terminal are same

  4. remains the same, if voltage across any of these terminals are changed


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Open loop voltage gain is given by $A _v=\dfrac{V _0}{V _+-V _-}$. If $V _+=V _-$, Voltage gain becomes infinity or very high. thus voltage gain increases

Which of the following electrical characteristics is not exhibited by an ideal op-amp?

  1. Infinite voltage gain

  2. Infinite bandwidth

  3. Infinite output resistance

  4. Infinite slew rate


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

An ideal op-amp exhibits zero output resistance so that output can drive an infinite number of other devices.

An infinite impedance for an ideal opamp implies

  1. Opamp doesn't draw any current through its terminals

  2. Opamp draws only 10 micro amperes for its function

  3. Opamp's inverting terminal draws no current

  4. Opamp's non inverting terminal draws no current


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Since input impedance for an ideal opamp is infinite, the current drawn will be zero 

A voltage follower 

  1. has a voltage gain of 1

  2. is noninverting

  3. has no feedback resistor

  4. has all of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

a voltage follower is a circuit, wherein the magnitude and the phase of the signal remains the same. In order to achieve it, the feedback signal should be fed to positive terminal, so that phase is unchanged and the absence of a feedback resistor makes no loss in the output signal

The voltage between the input terminals of an ideal op amp is

  1. Zero

  2. Very small

  3. Very large

  4. Equal to the input voltage


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The input impedance of an ideal opamp is infinite and hence the current through it is zero. Thus the voltage across the terminals is also zero

As the supply voltage increases, the voltage gain of the circuit _____ and the power consumption _____.

  1. increases, increases

  2. increases, decreases

  3. decreases, decreases

  4. decreases, increases


Correct Option: A

Open loop gain of an amplifier can be represented by the formula

  1. $\dfrac{V _0}{V _i}$

  2. $V _0+V _i$

  3. $V _0-V _i$

  4. $V _0 \times V _i$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Open loop gain of an amplifier is the ratio of output voltage to the input voltage difference that is being amplified.

$\therefore$ open loop gain $A _{OL}$$=\cfrac{V _{out}}{V^+-V^-}\simeq\cfrac{V _{out}}{V _i}$
Since it is the gain obtained when no overall feedback is used in the circuit.

Which of the following AC parameters of an Op-amp results in reduction of output voltage if it becomes excessive?

  1. Transient Response

  2. Slew Rate

  3. Bandwidth

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The significant AC parameters of Op-amp are transient response, bandwidth and slew rate but all of them have different results while becoming excessive. The transient response affects the settling time while slew rate give rise to distortion if exceeded. As a result, bandwidth reduces the output voltage when it is exceeded. 

Since bandwidth is a small signal phenomenon, it represents the band of frequencies for which the gain remains constant & also highly dependable on compensating components including closed loop gain. But, it exhibits adverse consequences in the reduction of an output voltage when exceeded to greater extent.

 Of the values listed, the most realistic value for open-loop voltage gain of an OP-amp is

  1. 1

  2. 2000

  3. 80 dB

  4. 100000


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Open loop voltage in an opamp is very high and hence option d is the correct option

In a differential connection, the signals that are opposite at the inputs are _____ amplified, and those that are common to the two inputs are _____ amplified.

  1. slightly, slightly

  2. slightly, highly

  3. highly, highly

  4. highly, slightly


Correct Option: D

Current cannot flow to ground through

  1. A mechanical ground

  2. An ac ground

  3. A virtual ground

  4. An ordinary ground


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  1. Virtual ground refers to a circuit elements that is not connected to the ground directly, it is held at a reference voltage. This reference voltage need not to be same voltage as ground either.
    2. While in all other ground it may be mechanical A.C or an ordinary ground it act as a reference point against which other voltage can be measured.
    3. The key point  is that the current flow from one point of the circuit through ground then back into the circuit.
    So, current cannot flow to ground through a virtual ground.

Why are the Op-amps with open loop configuration not used in linear applications?

  1. High risk of distortion

  2. High risk of clipping of output signal

  3. Both a & b

  4. works as an attenuator


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Open loop configuration of Op-amp may increase the threat of distortion as well as clipping of output signal. Due to this reason, the output gets switched between the positive and negative saturation levels.

Hence, this is the major drawback because of which it is highly impossible to use Op-amps with open loop configurations in linear circuit applications.

 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 ..

  1. doubles

  2. drops to 12.5

  3. remains at 25

  4. increases slightly


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

the closed loop gain is given by $A _{cl}=\dfrac{A}{1+A \beta}$. since the open loop gain is large, the closed loop gain almost remains a constant, as it will be independent of open loop gain 

Since the input impedance of an ideal operational amplifier is infinite.

  1. Its input current is zero

  2. Its output resistance is high

  3. Its output voltage becomes independent of load resistance

  4. It becomes a current controlled device


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Input current in an ideal operational amplifier   $i = \dfrac{V}{Z}$
Since,  input impedance of the ideal operational amplifier is infinite  $i.e. Z = \infty$
$\implies \ i =\dfrac{V}{\infty}= 0$
