SUMMARY
The voltage gain of Vo/Vi in an op-amp circuit is calculated using the formula Vo = (-R2/R1) * Vi for inverting configurations and Vo = (-R2/R1)(Vx - Vi) for differential configurations. In this discussion, the user derived a voltage gain of 121.878 by substituting R1 and R2 values of 12 and 220 respectively. Another participant confirmed a similar result of 122.22, indicating consistency in the calculations. Clarity in the derivation steps is recommended to avoid confusion regarding variable values.
