Amplification of low level signal can be done using___________
Electrometer amplifier
Difference amplifier
Inverting amplifier
Non inverting amplifier
Explanation:
Electrometer amplifiers are a special type of amplifiers used for the amplification of very low level signals.
Question 3
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Which of the following is not a characteristic of an ideal op-amp?
Zero slew rate
Infinite bandwidth
Infinite input impedance
Zero output impedance
Explanation:
Slew rate is defined as the maximum rate of change of output voltage. For ideal op-amp slew rate should be infinite.
Question 4
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Amplifier with power supply and output circuits galvanically isolated are called ______________
Differential amplifier
Isolation amplifier
Inverting amplifier
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
Isolation amplifier is an amplifier with supply and output circuit galvanically isolated. Galvanic isolation means separation of functional units to prevent current flow.
Question 5
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
For an inverting amplifier positive terminal of input is connected to ____________ of 741 IC.
Pin number 3
Pin number 2
Pin number 1
Pin number 7
Explanation:
For an inverting amplifier positive terminal of input should be connected to a negative input terminal of 741 IC that is pin number 2.
Question 6
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Which configuration of op-amp is used for filter circuit?
Differential
Non-inverting
Inverting
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
Inverting mode of operation is employed for op-amp as a filter circuit, that is high pass and low pass filters.
Question 7
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
What is the Common Mode Rejection Ratio?
Output of a differential amplifier
Ability of an amplifier to reject common mode signals
Ability of an amplifier to accept common mode signals
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
CMRR or common mode rejection ratio of a differential amplifier is the ability to reject common mode signals. For ideal characteristics, the amplifier will have infinite CMRR.
Question 8
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Which of the following cannot be treated as a requirement of the instrumentation amplifier?
Low drift
Low input impedance
High linearity
High CMRR
Explanation:
For an instrumentation amplifier, input impedance should be very high.
Question 9
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
For an ideal op-amp, zero input results in zero output.
True
False
Explanation:
Zero output for zero input is a characteristic of an ideal op-amp. That is there will be no output for zero input.
