The document discusses a differentiator circuit that uses an operational amplifier to mathematically differentiate an input signal. The circuit introduces capacitance into the op-amp's feedback loop, causing the output to respond proportionally to the rate of change of the input voltage over time. Specifically, the capacitor ensures current only flows due to changes in the input voltage, resulting in an output voltage that is proportional to the derivative of the input.

A circuit that performs the mathematical differentiation of the input
signal is called a differentiator. i.e. the output of the differentiator is proportional to the rate of change of its input signal. By introducing electrical reactance (resistance or capacitance) into the feedback loops of op-amp amplifier circuits, we can cause the output to respond to changes in the input voltage with time. From the figure above, the right-hand side of the capacitor is held to a voltage of 0 volts, due to the virtual ground effect on the non-inverting pin of the op amp. Therefore, current through the capacitor is solely due to change in the input voltage. It can be denoted that the output Vo=-1.994V at the time interval 0<t<10ms.
