AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying various electrical components in a provided image, specifically an operational amplifier (op-amp), a potential voltage source, and a constant current source. There is a debate about the classification of the first component, with some suggesting it resembles a comparator rather than a traditional op-amp. It is noted that op-amps can function as comparators, and they are used in various applications such as inverting amplifiers and integrators. The conversation also touches on the appropriateness of categorizing the topic under "mathematics" instead of "Physics." Overall, the thread emphasizes the relationships and functions of these electrical components.

1)
Opamp (operational amplifier)
2)
could be a Voltage Source (usually there is a symbol in the circle)
3)
Constant Current Source
 
Why did you post this under "mathematics"? I would think it would do better under "Physics".
 
oook
 
the first one looks like a comparator, not an opamp.
 
opamps can be comparators...
 
its been a while since i went thru opamps. but as far as i remember, opamps are made up of comparators.

Comparators as well as inverting amps, non-inverting amps, summers, differentiators, and integrators, etc are made up of op-amps. A comparator is an application of an op-amp.
