Non Inverting Operational Amplifier

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the gain expression Vout/Vin for a non-inverting operational amplifier with a capacitor in series with R1. The initial expression for gain is given as 1 + R2/[R1 + 1/(jwC)], which needs to be converted into the form A + jB. The user struggles with this conversion but eventually rewrites the gain as 1 + R2/[R1 - j/wC]. Guidance is provided on multiplying by the conjugate to simplify the expression, leading to a successful resolution of the problem. The user confirms that they have solved the issue after applying the suggested method.

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.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
