  2. Volt-ampere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt-ampere

    The volt-ampere (SI symbol: VA, [1] sometimes V⋅A or V A) is the unit of measurement for apparent power in an electrical circuit. It is the product of the root mean square voltage (in volts) and the root mean square current (in amperes). [2] Volt-amperes are usually used for analyzing alternating current (AC) circuits.

  3. Gain (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gain_(electronics)

    A gain greater than one (greater than zero dB), that is, amplification, is the defining property of an active device or circuit, while a passive circuit will have a gain of less than one. [4] The term gain alone is ambiguous, and can refer to the ratio of output to input voltage (voltage gain), current (current gain) or electric power (power ...

  4. Log amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log_amplifier

    Basic opamp diode log amplifier. The basic opamp diode log amplifier shown in the diagram utilizes the diode's exponential current-voltage relationship for the opamp's negative feedback path, with the diode's anode virtually grounded and its cathode connected to the opamp's output , used as the circuit output.

  5. Operational amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_amplifier

    Many standard integrated circuit op amps cost only a few cents; however, some integrated or hybrid operational amplifiers with special performance specifications may cost over US$100. [2] Op amps may be packaged as components or used as elements of more complex integrated circuits. The op amp is one type of differential amplifier.

  6. Open-loop gain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-loop_gain

    The open-loop gain is a physical attribute of an operational amplifier that is often finite in comparison to the ideal gain. While open-loop gain is the gain when there is no feedback in a circuit, an operational amplifier will often be configured to use a feedback configuration such that its gain will be controlled by the feedback circuit components.

  7. Mathematics of three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_three-phase...

    Since we have shown that the neutral current is zero we can see that removing the neutral core will have no effect on the circuit, provided the system is balanced. Such connections are generally used only when the load on the three phases is part of the same piece of equipment (for example a three-phase motor), as otherwise switching loads and ...

  8. Op amp integrator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Op_amp_integrator

    The operational amplifier integrator is an electronic integration circuit. Based on the operational amplifier (op-amp), it performs the mathematical operation of integration with respect to time; that is, its output voltage is proportional to the input voltage integrated over time.

  9. Amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplifier

    An operational amplifier is an amplifier circuit which typically has very high open loop gain and differential inputs. Op amps have become very widely used as standardized "gain blocks" in circuits due to their versatility; their gain, bandwidth and other characteristics can be controlled by feedback through an external circuit. Though the term ...
