Homework # 4 Due Wednesday 9/29/2021

The following problem are slightly modified problems from the text book (8th edition).

Question 1) 2.71 Assume 𝑣I2 = 5.3, 𝑣I1 = 0.5 and 𝑥 = 0.2. Calculate the voltage at the
variable terminal (“wiper”) of the potentiometer.
(Hint: this is straight out of Circuits I).
Question 2) 2.71 Using the same conditions, calculate the voltage at the non-inverting input 𝑣+ .
Question 3) 2.71 Using the same conditions, what is the voltage at 𝑣− ?
Question 4) 2.71 Using the same conditions, what is the output of the amp, 𝑣O
Question 5) 2.71 Using the same conditions, what is the differential gain of the circuit?
Question 6) 2.80 In circuit P2.80 (b), for 𝑣𝐼 = 2.35, 𝑅1 = 9.1𝑘 and R = 2.2k, find 𝑖𝑂 .
Question 7) 2.92 What is the value of R2 in the circuit as described?
Question 8) 2.92 but change the 3-dB frequency to 500 kHz. At what frequency does the
magnitude of the transfer function equal 26.4444 dB?
Question 9) In the circuit at below, the opamp is ideal except that the output saturates at ± 12 V.
The circuit has been running for a long time. The output oscillates.
What is the peak to peak voltage at node “A”?
Question 10) What is the frequency of the output?
