While performing an experiment to determine the gain for an ideal operational amplifier having finite gain, a student mistakenly used the equation 1 + R2/R1 where R2 is the feedback resistance. What is the percentage error in his result? Given A is the finite voltage gain of the ideal amplifier used.

Operational Amplifiers topics include: Ideal operational amplifiers, inverting and non-inverting configuration, differentiators and differential amplifiers, operational amplifiers, finite open loop gain effect, circuit performance bandwidth and large signal operations. An operational amplifier (op-amp) is a high-gain electronic voltage amplifier that has a differential input and a single-ended output. It produces an output voltage by applying an open-loop gain to the difference between the voltage at the noninverting input terminal and the voltage at the inverting input terminal.  Op-amps...
