Op-amp:

This IC is Dual Inline Package and it is represented as 741 IC.

The pin diagram is shown below:

quesImage2381

Pin 2 and 3 are input terminals.

Inverting terminal:

If we apply the input at this terminal the output will have a 180° phase shift.

quesImage2382

Non-inverting terminal:

If we apply the input at this terminal the output will not have any phase shift at the output.

quesImage2383

Kirchhoff’s Voltage law:

This law states that the algebraic sum of all voltages in a closed loop will be zero.

\(\sum {V_{loop}} = 0\)

Virtual ground:

Both the terminal voltages will be equal for an op-amp.

Here we are discussing the voltage and in a loop, it will be zero.

V1 = V2

V1 – V2 = 0

KVL is satisfied here
