Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

Using the equations above, I'm not getting the right answer for beta which is 0.4926 V/A.
Is my model wrong ?

The op-amp's ro should be shown in series with the controlled voltage source.
So with a voltage source, ro is always in series ?
 
NascentOxygen said:
Yes.

If you were to place a resistance in parallel with an ideal voltage source, what would be the Thévenin equivalent resistance of that combination?

Would it be a voltage source in series with the resistance ?, I know that a current source with a parallel resistance is equal to a voltage source in series with that resistance

Guessing is not allowed.

Can you determine it?

Would it be zero ?, I determined it by using the rules. When you have a voltage source you short it and remove the load, so that means all the current will flow through the short and not through the parallel resistor

Right. A resistance has no effect if you erroneously add it parallel to an ideal voltage source: the effective source resistance here would stay as zero.

Ok, thanks, I'll attempt the question again
