Question
In the circuit shown below, all the components are ideal. If is V, the current sourced by the op-amp is ______ mA.

Correct answer
6 to 6
Solution
For an ideal op-amp with negative feedback, we use the virtual short concept:
1. V.
2.The current through the resistor connected to ground from the inverting terminal is:
.3.This current must flow through the feedback resistor. Thus, the output voltage is:
.4.The current through the load resistor is:
.5.The total current sourced by the op-amp is the sum of the feedback current and the load current:
