3. Using ideal-op-amp assumption, find an expression for the output voltage of the circuit.
30 kΩ
15 kΩ
4. Problem 3.1 on page 123 of the text book
5. The following figure shows an inverting amplifier that can have high gain without resorting to as wide a
range of resistor values as are needed in standard inverter configuration.
(a): Shown that the voltage gain under the ideal-op-amp assumption is given by the following equation:
Av =

(b): Evaluating the gain if the resistor values are:
R1=R3= 1 kΩ. R2=R4=10 kΩ.
(c): if R1=R3= 1 kΩ. R2=R4=10 kΩ, Compare to the regular inverting amplifier in Problem 1, which
amplifier has high gain?
