    Dear all,
    [​IMG]

    I want to ask, what is the purpose of those resistor in the inverting and non-inverting op-amp ? What actually op-amp does ? Op-amp = comparator? Any differences ?

    Thank you

    The equation for an op-amp is Vo = A(V+ - V-)

    You should have fun in class with this equation seeing what happens when A gets very large.

    You really should look at those equations and find your own way to determining what those 2 resistors do.

    An OpAmp is an amplifier which amplifies the voltage difference between the "+" input and the "-" input. The open-loop gain of the OpAmp is very high. so feedback is needed to bring the gain into a usable range.

    This is a basic explanation of the operation of OpAmps.

    I recommend this free PDF for in-depth studies.

    The resistor act as the potential divider ?
