i know that output impedance of an op-amp is very small compared to its input impedance. is there any purpose of having a high input impedance and small output impedance?

The output impedance of an op-amp refers to the resistance that is present at its output terminal. It is a measure of how much the output voltage changes when a load is connected to the output.
The output impedance of an op-amp is important because it affects the accuracy and stability of the output voltage. A low output impedance means that the op-amp is less affected by the connected load and can maintain a consistent output voltage.
The output impedance of an op-amp is determined by the internal circuitry of the op-amp and its design. Typically, op-amps are designed to have a very small output impedance in order to minimize the effect of the load on the output voltage.
A small output impedance in an op-amp allows for better performance and stability in the output voltage. It also allows for the op-amp to drive larger loads without significant changes in the output voltage. This is especially important in applications where a precise and consistent output is required.
The output impedance of an op-amp is a characteristic of its design and cannot be changed. However, it can be compensated for by using external components such as resistors or capacitors in the circuit. These components can help reduce the effect of the op-amp's output impedance on the output voltage.
