In an op-amp differentiator:________________?

Correct answer: A. the amplitude of output is proportional to rate of change of input

  • A. the amplitude of output is proportional to rate of change of input
  • B. the amplitude of output is proportional to input
  • C. output occurs when input is finite and constant
  • D. polarity of input and output is the same

Explanation

An op-amp differentiator produces an output proportional to the time derivative of the input, so faster input changes produce a larger output amplitude. Its output polarity is normally inverted, which rules out option d.
