    Output
In summary, the conversation discusses an amplifier with a V+ of 2.5 volts and an unconnected V-. The Voutput and V- are connected by a resistor, creating a non-inverting op-amp configuration with a gain of one. The question is posed about the voltage on the output of the op amp, and further discussion delves into the specifics of the resistor and input bias current.

suppose an amplifier with V+ is 2.5 volts
and V- is not connected...V- and Voutput are connected by a resistor.
what is the voltage on the outpout of the op amp?

This is a non-inverting op-amp configuration with a gain of one, sometimes called a voltage follower.

+2.5v.

the V- is not connected. (even not connected to ground reference)
the voltage at V- is zero or +2.5 volts like V+ or what?
thank you

1. What is the output voltage of an op amp with V+ 2.5V and V- not connected?

The output voltage of an op amp with V+ 2.5V and V- not connected will depend on the specific op amp and its characteristics. In general, the output voltage will be close to the supply voltage, but may not reach it exactly. This is known as the saturation voltage of the op amp.

2. Can the output voltage of an op amp with V+ 2.5V and V- not connected exceed 2.5V?

Yes, it is possible for the output voltage of an op amp with V+ 2.5V and V- not connected to exceed 2.5V. This can occur if the op amp is operating in an open loop configuration or if there is a high gain in the feedback loop.

3. How does the output voltage of an op amp with V+ 2.5V and V- not connected differ from a typical op amp circuit?

In a typical op amp circuit, both the V+ and V- inputs are connected to a power supply, which sets the operating range of the op amp. When V- is not connected, the op amp is essentially operating in an open loop configuration, which can result in a higher output voltage and potential instability.

4. What is the effect of not connecting V- in an op amp circuit?

Not connecting V- in an op amp circuit can result in a higher output voltage and potential instability. This is because the op amp is operating in an open loop configuration and is not being properly controlled by the V- input.

5. Can I use an op amp with V+ 2.5V and V- not connected in a circuit?

It is not recommended to use an op amp with V+ 2.5V and V- not connected in a circuit. This can result in unstable or unpredictable behavior. It is important to properly connect both inputs of an op amp to ensure proper operation.
