Homework Statement


Problem #6 on the attachment


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I am stuck because if I do KCL at the node above the current source, It seems like all of the current should go back into Rs and none from the current source goes up to Rf

you want iL/is

with negative feedback, the positive and negative nodes of the op-amp should equal each other. so the negative node=0V

since the voltage at the negative node is zero, with an ideal steady state op-amp no current can flow through Rs.

so the current through rf is Is.

Use that to get you started

I have it solved, thank you!

I got G = -Rf/RL
