When an operational amplifier is used as an inverting amplifier, the angle between its output and input signal is:

Correct answer: E. 180 degrees

  • A. 30 degrees
  • B. 45 degrees
  • C. 60 degrees
  • D. 90 degrees
  • E. 180 degrees

Explanation

In an inverting amplifier configuration, the input signal is applied to the negative input terminal of the operational amplifier. The output signal is then inverted with respect to the input signal and amplified by a factor determined by the resistor values used in the circuit. Since the output signal is inverted with respect to the input signal, the phase difference between the two signals is 180 degrees. This means that the output signal is exactly opposite in polarity to the input signal. Therefore, the angle between the output and input signal in an inverting amplifier is 180 degrees.

About Electronics

A p-n junction forms when p-type and n-type semiconductor regions meet, creating a depletion layer, barrier potential and rectifying action. The work covers forward and reverse bias, junction current, diode characteristics, and how a diode converts alternating current into pulsating direct current through half-wave and full-wave rectification.
