If ground is applied to the (+) terminal of an inverting op-amp, the (-) terminal will_____________?

Correct answer: B. Be virtual ground

  • A. Not need an input resistor
  • B. Be virtual ground
  • C. Have high reverse current
  • D. Not invert the signal

Explanation

With the non-inverting terminal grounded and negative feedback present, the virtual-short rule forces the inverting terminal to approximately 0 V as well. It is called a virtual ground because it is not physically connected to ground.
