AI Thread Summary
The voltage gain of Vo/Vi in the discussed op-amp circuit is calculated to be approximately 121.878. The derivation utilizes the formulas for both inverting and differential op-amp configurations. Some confusion arose due to the use of the same symbols R1 and R2 with different values in the calculations. Another participant noted a slightly different result of 122.22, suggesting that variations in calculations can occur. Clarity in the solution steps is recommended to prevent misunderstandings.

Homework Statement


Find the voltage gain of Vo/Vi. I'm pretty confident I have this down now, but I'd be greatful if someone could confirm I have this sussed.

Homework Equations


For the inverting op amp:
Vo= \frac{-R2}{R1}*Vi
For the differential op amp:
Vo= \frac{-R2}{R1}(V--V+)

The Attempt at a Solution


Vx= \frac{-R2}{R1}*Vi
Vx= \frac{-68}{12}*Vi=-5.667Vi

Vo= \frac{-R2}{R1}(Vx-Vi)
Vo= \frac{-220}{12}((-5.667Vi)-Vi)
Vo= \frac-18.3(-6.66Vi)=121.878Vi

\frac{Vo}{Vi}=121.878

The result looks good.

You might want to sprinkle a few comments around in your derivations so that it's obvious what your steps are accomplishing. It was a bit puzzling at first to see the same symbols, R1 and R2, take on different values with no apparent reason.
 
I've read this exact problem this morning and got 122.22. It may not be as exact as your answer but it's just the same. Just make your solution clearer to avoid confusion.
 
Coincidence that this is the same exercise ?
