What are the ideal op-amp approximations?

Ideal op amp approximations: -no current goes into the positive or negative input of the op amp. -The open loop gain is infinite. -Voltage at positive input is the same as the negative input.


Why the slope of voltage-resistance characteristic increases in the case of tungsten lamp and decresing in case of carbon lamp?

If the filament really was made from a material that has a negative temperature coefficient (as temperature increases, resistance decreases) then the decreasing resistance would cause more and more current to be taken as the lamp heated up and the temperature would get higher and higher in a runaway manner until either the power supply's breaker would trip or (more likely) the light bulb's filament would simply burn open. In fact the filament has to be made from a material that has a positive temperature coefficient. (As temperature increases, resistance increases.) Then, as the bulb's temperature rises, its filament's increasing resistance causes less current to be taken than when it was cold. Quite quickly a stable "steady-state" temperature and "running" resistance is reached so that the bulb simply continues to give out a steady amount of light according to the current it is taking from the electricity supply.


Is a tank a pressure vessel?

I guess it depends on whether it's sealed or not. If it's open to the atmosphere how can it be under pressure ? If it's sealed it could be put under (positive or negative) pressure so would be, by definition, a pressure vessel IMHO.


What is the symbol for a open circuit?

When a circuit is in off condition then it is called an open circuit..


Why is negative feedback used in high gain amplifier?

A: Well for one thing if it is positive feedback the amplifier will saturate to one one side of the power buss or the other. An operational amplifier open loop gain can be 90Db which a tremendous gain so some negative feedback is necessary to reduce the gain and make the amplifier behave in the linear region for amplification
