Question
Assuming that the Op-amp in the circuit shown is ideal, is given by

Correct answer
(D) -3V₁ + (11)/(2) V₂
Solution
Using the principle of virtual short for an ideal Op-amp, .
From the circuit diagram:
Substitute :
Multiply the entire equation by to clear denominators:
.
From the circuit diagram:
1.The non-inverting terminal is connected directly to , so .
2.Therefore, .
3.Apply KCL at the inverting terminal node ():
Substitute :
Multiply the entire equation by to clear denominators:
.
