Solution:

Given that the input currents to an OP-AMP (OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER) are,

I1 8.3 A and I2 7.9 A
The input bias current is the dc current required by the inputs of the amplifier to properly
operate the first stage. By definition, the input bias current of an is the average of both input
currents and is calculated as follows:
I I
I BIAS 1 2
2
The input bias current of an OP-AMP is given by,
8.3 A 7.9 A
