Objective: In this lab we built and simulated basic op-amp

circuits. Circuit configurations tested include inverting, noninverting, differencing, and summing amplifiers.

Explanation: The results obtained in the experiment were
not similar to the simulations and the theoretical values
because there were multiple inputs but only one output

Analysis:
1. The resistance seen at Terminal 3:
a. 0

b. 0
c. 4.7k//10k
d. 0

2.
3. A = Rf/Ri
4. For the first two configurations yes, but the last two
configurations would not.
Conclusion: In this lab we built and simulated basic op-amp
circuits. Circuit configurations tested include inverting, noninverting, differencing, and summing amplifiers.
