We intend to measure the open-loop gain (LaTeX: A_{open}A o p e n ) of an actual operational amplifier. The magnitude of LaTeX: A_{open}A o p e n is in the range of 106 V/V. However, the signal generator in measurement setup can supply minimal voltage of 1 mV, and the oscilloscope used at amplifier output can measure maximal voltage level of 10 V. Can you design a simple measurement setup using this signal generator and oscilloscope, and accurately measure the LaTeX: A_{open}A o p e n

voltage divider,  R₂ = 1000 R₁

measuring the output in the resistance R₁

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation, in an op amp in open gain loop, the gain is maximum G = 10⁶ V / V

in this case the signal generator gives a minimum wave of 1 10⁻³ V, after passing through the amplified it becomes 10³ V which saturates the oscilloscope.

To solve this problem we must use a simple voltage divider, for this we use the fact that in a series circuit the voltage is the sum of the voltages of each element.

If we use two resistors whose relationship is

            R₂ / R₁ = 10³

            R₂ = 1000 R₁

When measuring the output in the resistance R₁ we have the desired divider, with a tolerance range, for the minimum output of the generator (1 10⁻³V) we have a reading of V = 1 V in the oscilloscope, for which we can use voltage up to 10V on the generator

there was no answer choices but i think its representative
