2. Ideal vs. Real Op-Amp Behavior

Operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) are pivotal in analog electronics, facilitating high-gain voltage amplification with differential input. Ideal op-amps, characterized by infinite gain, zero impedance, and perfect performance, provide a theoretical basis, while real op-amps demonstrate finite characteristics influenced by physical limitations. Understanding these differences is essential for effective circuit design and application.
