    Can overdrive voltage never be less than zero?

    I had a test recently and one of the problems was pretty basic. It gave you a table with the voltages at the gate, source, and drain of the device. Vt (Threshold voltage) was also provided, which was +1V. From there we were supposed to find Vgs, Vov(Overdrive voltage), Vds and the region of...

    Finding the output current in an op-amp.

    NVM I got it. So my mistake was that since Vout is -20 and outside the linear range of the op-amp then Vout is -15. From there I did KCL at the Vn node with the new Vout. (Vn-10)/5K + (Vn+15)/10K = 0 Vn=5/3 From there I did KCL at the output Vout: (-15-5/3)/10K - 15/10K = Iout Iout=-3.167 mA

    Finding the output current in an op-amp.

    Ok so I instead I did Vout=(-Rf/Rs)*Vs So (-10K/5K)*10 Vout=-20 But since Vout is still not with the linear range of the power rails, isn't Vout=15?

    WOW. I'm SOOO STUPID. I did that exactly and i got it. Thanks that problem even stumped my professor in class. Thank you soooo much

    what would be your suggestion to go from here then? Do i not use a test source? because i really don't know any other way to solve it then.

    Engineering Finding Equivalent Resistance in a Circuit

    if it was that simple then why isn't the answer just 1? I'm really confused on why you disregard the voltage at the bottom. Underneath the 1ohm resister is not ground but another voltage which is 2i0.

    But isn't there a voltage at the bottom too? so it i0=v1/2i0?
