Read the following paragraph and answer the questions 71 to 75:
An operational amplifier is a direct coupled high gain amplifier with feedback. It is employed to perform a wide variety of functions such as summer, integrator, differentiator, logarithmic amplifier, oscillators, filters, comparators voltage to frequency converter, amplitude modulators, sample and hold circuit and so on.
An ideal Op-Amp has infinite input =resistance, zero output resistance, infinite voltage gain and bandwidth, zero offset and no drift. An ideal Op-Amp is a perfectly balanced circuit such that output voltage is zero for two equal input signals. However a real Op-Amp exhibits imbalance due to mismatch at the input differential stage. It gives rise to offsets. In practical applications offsets are removed using balancing networks. In general an Op-Amp consists of the following four stages:
(1) Differential amplifier first stage
(2) Differential amplifier second stage
(3) Emitter follower
(4) Level translator and output stage It is most widely used analog device.
