Non Inverting Operational Amplifier

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving the gain expression for a non-inverting operational amplifier circuit with a capacitor in series with resistor R1. The gain is expressed as Vout/Vin = 1 + R2/[R1 + 1/(jwC)], which can be rewritten as Vout/Vin = 1 + R2/[R1 - j/wC]. Participants provided guidance on converting this expression into the form A + jB by multiplying by the conjugate of the denominator. The final solution was achieved after correcting for an additional term in the gain.

Homework Statement


Derive an expression for the gain Vout/Vin. Express your answer in the form of A+jB.

Homework Equations



The Attempt at a Solution


If C is the capacitor in series with R1, gain = 1 + R2/[R1 + 1/(jwC)]. It says to express it in the form of A (real)+ jB (imaginary), but I'm not sure how to make the conversion from my solution of gain to the form of A+jB.
Any help is appreciated.

Edit: Figured that I can rewrite it as gain = 1 + R2/[R1 - j/wC] and I tried multiplying by the conjugate but I still can't get it...

Yes, looks good so far.
and I tried multiplying by the conjugate but I still can't get it...
Multiply by (conjugate/conjugate), where "conjugate" is the conjugate of the denominator.

For example:

\frac{c}{a+jb} = \frac{c(a-jb)}{(a+jb)(a-jb)} = etc.
 
Thanks! yea I ended up doing that by kept forgetting the extra 1 for the gain. All solved now though.
