Solving for Vo: Nodal Analysis Approach

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on using Nodal Analysis to determine the output voltage Vo(t) in relation to the input voltage Vs. Initial nodal equations are proposed, and the relationship between V1 and V2 is confirmed due to the ideal op amp configuration. The derived equation shows a combination of terms leading to Vo, which is compared against another participant's calculations. The results are noted to be within a plausible rounding error, but the expression for Vo needs to be isolated for clarity. Overall, the approach and calculations are validated, indicating a solid understanding of the problem.

Determine the output voltage Vo(t) in terms of Vs

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


If I were to use Nodal Analysis to solve this, would these be the proper nodal equations?\frac{V1}{-j1.6} + \frac{V1-Vs}{175} = 0
\frac{V_{I2}-Vo}{10k} + \frac{V_{I2}}{1k} = 0

Sure, those would be a good start.

Is V1 = V2?

Is V1 = V2?
Well, it's an ideal op amp with feedback to the negative input. So that would be a yes.

I end up with:
j25.45Vo + 0.233Vo = 2.56Vs
Does this look good so far?
 
I think that looks okay. Hard to tell without seeing the full derivation, but it certainly yields a result for Vo that's almost spot on compared to what I calculate.

How far off am I compared with your results?

Within plausible rounding error range. The expression you provided was not in a typical final form, since Vo was not isolated. So I "solved" it for Vo in terms of Vs and compared the proportionality constant with what I derived. Here:
