Question
Consider the circuit with an ideal OPAMP shown in the figure.
Assuming and , the condition at which equals to zero is

Correct answer
(A) V_(IN) = V_(REF)
Solution
Read the figure. The non-inverting input is grounded, so by virtual short . Two resistors feed the inverting node:
- one from (positive terminal at the top), and
- one from the source, whose positive terminal is at the bottom (ground). The top of that source is therefore at .
- (B) , (C) , (D) leave in general.
