Operational Amplifiers II

The second part of the op-amp experiment is to observe the changing of input and feedback resistors. We began by setting up the inverting amplifier


If the fixed input resistor is 10 kΩ, then we need a 100 kΩ resistor to achieve a gain of -10.
If Vsen = 1 V, the current leaving the op-amp is IOP = 0.1 mA.

We constructed the following setup and made measurements

1.0 V
1 V
-10.03 V
9.95 V
0.1 mA
0.889 mA
-0.982 mA

Kirchhoff's Current Law is confirmed when we add ICC and IEE to yield IOP.

The power supplied by the 12 V supplies were

PCC = (12 V) (ICC) = (12 V) (0.889 mA) = 10.67 mW
PEE = (12 V) (IEE) = (12 V) (0.889 mA) = 11.78 mW

We added a 1 kΩ resistor to the output shown below


and measured the following

Vin

1.0 V
-9.97 V
9.75 V
0.1 mA
0.887 mA
-0.987 mA

We can see that KCL is obeyed when we sum ICC and IEE.

Again, we calculated the power:

PCC = 10.64 mW
PEE = 11.84 mW

Extra Credit
In order to achieve a gain of -5 in our inverting amplifier, our value for the feedback resistor must be 50 kΩ.
Our measurements were:

Vin

ICC

IEE
Measured
1.0 V
-5.04 V
4.98 V

-0.985 mA
The behavior of the circuit is exactly the same as the two previous measurements made in the experiment.
