    Op-amp
In summary, the V- input of a paint doc op-amp is typically connected to ground to provide a stable reference voltage and ensure accurate amplification of the input signal. It can also be connected to a different voltage to create a specific offset or bias in the output signal, but this is not common. The V- input does not directly affect the amplification of the op-amp, but it plays a crucial role in stabilizing the output signal. It is necessary to connect the V- input in a paint doc op-amp in order for it to function properly and produce accurate and stable output signals.

Problem in paint doc.
I'm interested in why V- = 0.

Is it always true that V- = 0?
If not how was it decided that V- = 0 for this given probem?

Nevermind I figured it out. V+ = 0
and V+ = V-

You still asked a good question. Is V- always zero?
Answer: no, but it's always = V+ unless the op amp output is saturated.
 

FAQ: Why V- = 0 in Paint Doc Op-Amp Question

Why does V- equal 0 in a paint doc op-amp?

The V- input of an op-amp is typically connected to ground, which means it is held at a constant voltage of 0 volts. This helps to stabilize the output of the op-amp and ensure accurate amplification of the input signal.

What is the purpose of the V- input in a paint doc op-amp?

The V- input is used to provide a reference voltage for the op-amp. By connecting it to ground, the op-amp can accurately measure the input signal against this fixed reference point.

Can V- be a different voltage in a paint doc op-amp?

In some cases, the V- input may be connected to a different voltage instead of ground. This is often done to create a specific offset or bias in the output signal, but it is not a common practice in paint doc op-amps.

How does the V- input affect the amplification of a paint doc op-amp?

The V- input does not directly affect the amplification of the op-amp. However, by providing a stable reference voltage, it helps to ensure that the output signal is accurately amplified and not affected by any fluctuations in the input signal.

Is it necessary to connect the V- input in a paint doc op-amp?

Yes, it is necessary to connect the V- input in a paint doc op-amp. Without this reference voltage, the op-amp would not function properly and may produce inaccurate or unstable output signals.
