  2. The current into the input terminals is zero
  3. The current from output terminal is zero
  4. The output resistance is zero

The current from output terminal is zero

13. For an op-amp having differential gain Av and common-mode gain Ac the CMRR is given by

  1. Av + Ac
  2. Av / Ac
  3. 1 + Av / Ac)
  4. Ac / Av

Av / Ac

14. How many op-amps are required to implement this equation Vo = V1

  1. 4
  2. 3
  3. 2

15. Hysteresis is desirable in Schmitt-trigger, because

  1. Energy is to be stored/discharged in parasitic capacitances.
  2. Effects of temperature would be compensated.
  3. Devices in the circuit should be allowed time for saturation and desaturation.
  4. It would prevent noise from causing false triggering.

Correct answer: (C)
Devices in the circuit should be allowed time for saturation and desaturation.
