analysis courses for electrical engineering students and electricalengineering technology students.I. Introduction:Operational amplifiers with negative feedback have three modes of operation. The non-invertingamplifier, the inverting amplifier and the voltage follower. The voltage follower can beconsidered a special case of the non-inverting amplifier, but it will be considered separately inthis paper, as it is a commonly used buffer circuit that the students need to closely understand.The gain for the different amplifiers can be derived using the negative feedback configuration.The main idea of the negative feedback is to reduce the potential difference between theinverting and the non-inverting amplifier inputs to obtain a voltage at the output

Engineering laboratories in which students follow detailedprocedures without deviation are unlikely to impart the ability to design and conductexperiments because the students never experience designing experiments and are being ledby prescriptive instructions rather than by a protocol they established on their own.
