The output of a linear op amp circuit
A) is always nonlinear.
B) is distorted due to saturation.
C) has the same shape as the input signal.
D) is always digital.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A linear op amp circuit preserves the shape of the input signal, which means the output signal also has the same shape as the input signal. Therefore, option C is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect since a linear op amp circuit produces a linear output signal for a given input signal, and thus it is not necessarily nonlinear. Option B is not necessarily true since the output signal may not experience saturation. Option D is incorrect since a linear op amp circuit produces an analog output signal, and is not digital.
