With zero volts on both inputs, an OP-amp ideally should have an output _______________?

Correct answer: C. equal to zero

  • A. equal to the positive supply voltage
  • B. equal to the negative supply voltage
  • C. equal to zero
  • D. equal to CMRR

Explanation

With equal zero-voltage inputs, the ideal differential input voltage is zero, so the ideal op-amp output is also zero. Any nonzero output in a practical device is caused by offset voltage, bias currents, or other imperfections.
