Reading:
Please continue to study Chapter 2 in the Bobrow text:
Section 2.4 (op amps), Section 2.5 (Thevenin equivalent circuit),
and Section 2.6 (superposition).
Before lab on Thursday, February 17,
please read the
Lab 5 handout and do the pre-lab activities in your lab notebook.
Please solve problem 2.35 in the Bobrow text.
Show the steps that you use in your analysis.
Design an op amp circuit such that the output voltage
is one-fourth the input voltage, i.e.,
vo = 0.25
vi. (Hint: You may need more than one op amp.)
Specify an op amp circuit whose output voltage is
the average of three input voltage sources:
vout = (va + vb + vc)/3.
Specify values for all resistors in your circuit diagram.
Consider the electronic ohmmeter
shown below.
To use the ohmmeter,
an unknown resistance R is connected as shown, and then
the value of R is obtained by measuring the voltage
vo
and then computing
R = -1000 vo.
[CIRCUIT DIAGRAM IS NOT AVAILABLE IN HTML DOCUMENT.]
Since vo
is always within
the range -10 volts to +10 volts,
what is the maximum value of R that can be measured with
this circuit?
How can the circuit be modified in order to measure
resistance values up to 100 k ohms?
Explain the reasoning behind your modification, and explain
how the value of R is computed from
vo
in your circuit.
