Question 2
Analog ElectronicsOperational Amplifiers

For an ideal operational amplifier, the input impedance is assumed to be?

  • AZero
  • BInfinite
  • C1 ohm
  • DEqual to output impedance
Report an error
Correct Answer: B. Infinite
Explanation: An ideal op-amp draws zero input current; therefore its input impedance is considered infinite.
