Current is peak when the output is maximum (i.e. input is maximum)

2.5. Input current is very small but output current is very large .This can be used for control a large
current by a small current. In other words this is a current amplifier.

3. Simple regulated DC power source using op-amp control system .

3.1. Output voltage is constant when the system is slightly changed. V out not decreases due to
changing current from the output.

R1 and R2 acts as a voltage divider which feeds back a portion from output to input which
R2
is equal toV out × .And this is proportional to V out also this should be smaller than
R1+ R 2
voltage of the zener diode(Z1) .So the output is positive and proportional to
R2
Z 1−V out × .When V out decreases input increases then output increases and the
R 1+ R 2
base voltage of the transistor increases and it causes V out to be increased to prior
value .also when the V out increases input decreases then output decreases and the base
voltage of the transistor decreases the transistor conducts less heavily and V out
decreased to prior value. It is realized that this gives a constant output voltage and the
R1
(
regulated output voltage is equal to 1+
R2 )
Z 1 when the voltage drop of the transistor BE
