For non-inverting operational amplifiers, if R1 is infinite and R2 is 0 ohm, then the gainof amplifier is

Correct answer: C. +1

  • A. -1
  • B. 0
  • C. +1
  • D. infinite

Explanation

In a non-inverting operational amplifier, the gain is given by 1 + (R2/R1). If R1 is infinite (open circuit) and R2 is 0 ohm (short circuit), the gain simplifies to 1 + (0/infinity) = 1. This configuration implies a unity gain buffer where the input is directly transferred to the output without amplification or inversion. The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the conditions of the non-inverting amplifier with the given resistor values.
