Hello - thank you for reading this, and thank you in advance to anyone who replies and clarifies the mystery of "ground." I have finally gained a full understanding of how a full-wave rectifier, two-power tube electric guitar amplifier works in a push-pull manner, but one thing remains after I...

can someone check, if i calculated the output voltage correct? i used virtual ground because V+-input of the op amp is 0 --> V- input is then also 0.

Using analog discovery 2 kit and the bode plot produced by the network analyzer is off. The scope looks fine and everything is behaving how it should except for the bode plot. The magnitude of the bode plot will start at the correct dB then right before tapering off it shoots up a few dB and...

Find amplitude, period, PS, VS. graph 2 periods of $y=3\cos(\pi x-2)+5$ ok I think these are the plug ins we use $Y=A\cos\left[\omega\left(x-\dfrac{x \phi}{\omega} \right)\right]+B $ or $A\cos\left(\omega x-\phi\right)+B$ A=amplitude B=VS or veritical shift $T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega-\phi}$...

Had this as a question from a class mate. This op amp should not have any gain in the DC or AC circuit. The coupling cap blocks DC and has no reference to get gain, while the AC needs a cap in the feedback loop to get gain. Is that correct? Oh, this is supposed to be in the inverting configuration.

Hello everyone ! I'm working with a piezoelectric cell and I need to retrieve the variation of the charge of the cell as a voltage signal. I found this circuit (a charge amplifier) with an OP Amp ( here the piezo cell is represented as the current source with the capacitor and the resistor on...

Hi, I am using an Apex PA443DF operational amplifier to drive a sinusoidal signal at 100 V amplitude across a very large resistor with resistance of about 5000 Mega ohms. The amplifiers are set up as noninverting with a gain of 22 and function very well for small resistive loads. The sinusoids...

Hello everyone, I was thinking how to cancel the class B crossover distortion, may I suggest to discuss an interesting variant. Let's start from this: - there is crossover distortion (and no current protection). The signal source is "full voltage, zero current". Let's make it "full current...

I have built several guitar amps, but the last one I built burned out a capacitor, can anyone think of a reson for this? it was an eloctolytic, all is working fine now I replaced it.

I was wanting to get a book on Op Amps. Ideally it would have lots of examples but I also need it to explain gain, feedback, and all that important material in an understandable manner.

This is not my subject, but I need to know if I can convert 10 PSI to energy. for example, If I have a permanent magnet motor rotate X time (RPM) to produce 10 PSI. Now Can I invert this process, if I have 10 PSI and let it pass on a permanent magnet motor, How much electricity will produce? in...

Hello, I am simulating the input impedance of a high-pass filter with the output voltage of the filter input to the non-inverting pin of an op amp. I'm confused as to why the input impedance can possibly dip below the resistance of the high-pass filter resistor. Please see the following circuit...

Maybe you can please give advice. I have a coffee roaster here in New Zealand I would like to bring to the US. It is 400 volt 3 phase 16 amp. It has a blower, a heater and computer components to run it. It is like a very large popcorn machine. Can this work in the US?

I have a lm224 operational amplifier that does not tolerate signals below ground. What operational amplifier tolerates signals below ground?

Hi Everyone, I would like to measure voltage output from a sensor via an Arduino. The sensor outputs 20 mV at max capacity. I'd like to bump this up to around 5 volts so it is easier to measure. My plan was to use a non-inverting topology coupled with an LM393N op-amp. The schematic for a...

I've been given the following circuit and have been asked to find the input impedance and the impedance between the input terminal and ground. I've never encountered an operational amplifier configured like this. I know that the voltages at the - and + terminals of the op amp are ideally equal...

Homework Statement Homework Equations CMRR = Av/Acm Acm= Δ/R , Δ = (2 x Tolerance of Resistor).R The Attempt at a Solution I have to admit I am a bit confused by the premise of the problem. My understanding is Vout is used to vary Vcharge in some way, so that Icharge is always 1.3 A. Then...

Homework Statement Solve for Vout Homework Equations Vout=Vin(1+Rf/R) The Attempt at a Solution I get it is a non-inverting op amp but there is no resistor from the non-inverting terminal to the output. I have no idea how the equation would be. I understand that noninverting is...

How would you solve for Vout? I get it is a non-inverting op amp but there is no resistor from the noninverting terminal to the output.

So, from my textbook, and what seems to be standard, an inverting amplifier circuit goes something like this: However, when I switch the terminals of the op amp and follow through with the equations, I get the same Vout. So my question then is what is the difference? I know there is other...

I was told once that two 1 amp tv type diodes parallel will not work because one will always carry the load, but I am working on a car 30 amp battery charger and it has 6 diodes 1/2" press in type all parallel same as from a 10DN series Delco alternator from the 60's where they used three...

Someone is asking me how much current in a loop of wire the diameter of the Earth to make the same level of magnetism the Earth has? I hope I am asking this correctly. TIA Clark

I have constructed a gain clone type amp based on the LM3886 chip from Texas Instruments. I have wired it using some available 16 gauge stranded wire. It is powered by a centertapped 34 volt (68 volt total) transformer that is fused by a 2 amp fuse. It is working with no issues however I would...

So this is the circuit of a filtre and it's complex schema : The question was find the fonction S/E .In order to find S/E , I had to sum up impedances in serie or parallel, for example R2 and Z2 have the same current so we put R2+Z2=Z', but can I sum Z1+Z' ? since they have different current...

I am having a very difficult time verifying the equations for full differential amplifier. I literally read all the articles I can find from Google. Here is one of the question I think the paper by Jim Karki is wrong. The equation is equation (9). I verified the rest of the equation already...

I have a 2 AMP regulated DC power supply, with variable voltage 3 - 12 v. If in a small circuit, i.e, small copper wire with 1 ohm resistor. Why am i not getting at max Amps?

Picture for reference is below. I'm confused as to how this is able to receive a differential voltage of +/- from a single power supply. (Yes, I know the picture says dual power supply.) Normally I have to short the negative to ground on one side of a dual power supply, and short the positive...

Homework Statement I recently completed a lab where I set up a buffer amp. Its input was a function generator set at 5Vp amplitude and we placed various load resistors on the output to test Vout on an oscilloscope ( 75kΩ, 3300Ω, 510Ω and 68Ω.) From my data I noticed that the Vout was the same...
