In this activity, you will connect the operational amplifier to form a non-inverting amplifier.
In Experiment 1, you will vary the input voltage and record the corresponding output voltage to study its characteristics.
In Experiment 2, you will apply a signal from an a.c. source to the non-inverting amplifier. You will use a CRO to display the input signal and then the output from the amplifier. You will also study how the amplifier responds to frequency change.
In Experiment 3, you will connect the op-amp to form a voltage follower. You will vary the input voltage and record the corresponding output voltage to study its characteristics.
In Experiment 4, you will connect a load to the output of a voltage follower. The power input and power output are calculated from the readings in ammeters and voltmeters.
In Experiment 5, you will compare two methods to measure the voltage of a charged capacitor: using a moving-coil voltmeter directly and using a voltage follower with the moving-coil voltmeter.
