Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the purpose of feedback in an operational amplifier circuit?
  • Step 1: Understand that an operational amplifier (op-amp) is a device that amplifies electrical signals.
  • Step 2: Know that feedback means taking a portion of the output signal and sending it back to the input.
  • Step 3: Realize that feedback helps to stabilize the output of the op-amp, making it less likely to fluctuate wildly.
  • Step 4: Learn that feedback can control the gain, which is how much the op-amp amplifies the input signal.
  • Step 5: Remember that without feedback, the op-amp could produce very high or unpredictable outputs.
