    How can an Op Amp voltage comparator be used as a voltage controlled switch?

    Hi I am trying to create a circuit which i can use as a voltage controlled switch. I have 2 voltage inputs, ** A constant 3V source V1, ** A source which charges up to 3.5V and then slowly discharges V2. I would like to amalgamate both sources so as when V2 discharges...

    Understanding the Equalizing Nature of Negative Feedback in Op Amps

    I understand how to apply op amps, but one thing about op amps had bugged me for some time. I want to know what about an op amp in negative feedback forces both the posotive and negative inputs to be equal. And could your explanation be for both an inverting and non inverting op amp. Thanks! :)
