Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the purpose of an operational amplifier (op-amp)?
  • Step 1: Understand that an operational amplifier (op-amp) is an electronic component.
  • Step 2: Know that the main job of an op-amp is to increase (amplify) small voltage signals.
  • Step 3: Recognize that op-amps are used in many devices, like audio equipment and sensors, to improve signal strength.
  • Step 4: Remember that op-amps can also perform other functions, like adding or subtracting signals, but their primary purpose is amplification.
