B. RIF = 30MΩ, ROF = 6kΩ
C. RIF = 15kΩ, ROF = 50MΩ
D. None of the mentioned

Answer: A
Clarification: AF = 1+(RF/R1) = 1+(11kΩ/2kΩ) = 6.5;
B= 1/ AF = 1/6.5 = 0.154;
Input resistance of RIF = R1(1+AB. = 33MΩ[1+(6.5*0.154) ]= 66MΩ;
Output resistance of ROF = Ro/(1+AB. = 60/[1+(6.5*0.154) ]= 29.98 ≅30Ω.

2. The output resistance of the op-amp with feedback is

C. Smaller than that of the output resistance without feedback
D. None of the mentioned

Answer: C
Clarification: In voltage series feedback amplifier, the output resistance is (1/(1+AB.) times the output resistance of the op-amp. Therefore, the output resistance of the op-amp with feedback is much smaller than the output resistance without feedback.

3. Find the output current in the voltage series feedback amplifier.

8. Which of the following has the same characteristic as that of non-inverting amplifier with feedback?
A. Perfect feedback amplifier
B. Voltage follower
C. Perfect voltage amplifier
D. All of the mentioned

Answer: C
Clarification: A perfect voltage amplifier has very high input resistance, very low output resistance, stable voltage gain, large bandwidth and very little output offset voltage.
From the analysis of the characteristic of non-inverting amplifier with feedback, it is clear that it exhibits the characteristics of a perfect voltage amplifier.

9. What is the gain of voltage follower?
A. Gain > ∞
B. Gain –>1
C. Gain <1
D. Gain –>∞

Answer: B
Clarification: Voltage follower is non-inverting amplifier configured for unity gain. Such that the output voltage is equal to and in phase with the input.

10. Which is preferred to attain higher input resistance and the output amplitude equal to input?
A. Voltage follower
B. Voltage series feedback amplifier
C. Voltage shunt feedback amplifier
D. Inverter

Answer: A
Clarification: In the voltage follower the output follow the input due to unity gain. Therefore, it is attained to get higher input resistance and output amplitude equal to input.

11. Find the input and output voltage in voltage follower circuit?
A. Vin=2v and Vout = 3v
B. Vin=10v and Vout = 11v
C. Vin=9v and Vout = 9v
D. Vin=4v and Vout = 7v

Answer: C
Clarification: Voltage follower has input voltage equal to output voltage. The closed loop voltage gain is equal to one. For example, take the input and output voltage to be 2v, then AF = Vout/Vin = 2v/2v = 1.

12. Voltage follower is also called as
A. None of the mentioned
B. Non-inverting amplifier
C. Inverting amplifier
D. Normal buffer

Answer: B
Clarification: The voltage follower is also called as a non-inverting buffer because, when placed between two networks, it removes the loading on the first network.

13. Find the bandwidth and total output offset voltage of a voltage follower? The following are the specifications for the op-amp 741: A=200000, fo =5hz and supply voltage =±15v.

A. fF = 1000hz, VooT = ± 7.5µv.
B. fF = 100khz, VooT = ± 7.5µv.
C. fF = 10khz, VooT = ±7.5µv.
D. fF = 1000khz, VooT = ± 7.5µv.

Answer: D
Clarification: Bandwidth fF =A* fF = 200000*5= 1Mhz.
Total output offset voltage, VooT= ±Vsat/A= ±15/200000 =± 7.5µv.
