Op-Amp Gain: Inverting, Noninverting, Buffer

Operational amplifiers can be used as inverting, noninverting, and buffer amplifiers. In these circuits, the output voltage depends on the input voltage and the resistor setup around the op-amp.

In an inverting amplifier, the input voltage is sent through a resistor to the inverting terminal. The...

The inverting amplifier connects the input voltage through a resistor to the inverting terminal, grounds the non-inverting terminal, and has a feedback resistor between the inverting and output terminals.

By applying KCL and assuming the operational amplifier to be ideal, the expression for gain is determined.
