Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of increasing the frequency on the gain of an operational amplifier?
  • Step 1: Understand what an operational amplifier (op-amp) is. It is an electronic device that can amplify voltage signals.
  • Step 2: Learn about gain. Gain is how much an op-amp increases the strength of a signal.
  • Step 3: Know that op-amps have a certain frequency range where they work best. This is called bandwidth.
  • Step 4: Realize that as you increase the frequency of the input signal, the op-amp may not be able to amplify it as effectively.
  • Step 5: Understand that this limitation causes the gain to decrease at higher frequencies.
  • Step 6: Conclude that increasing frequency generally leads to a decrease in the gain of the operational amplifier.
