Reason to increase output impedance in an non inverting op-amp
This type of scheme is to decrease the amount of capacitance that the opamp "see's" on it's output, if you were to decrease the series resistance beyond a certain point on the output its ...

What's the gain of this circuit?
Lets consider the Op-Amp as an ideal OP-AMP.
So the output of the OP-Amp can be seen as an ideal voltage source (depending on V+ and V-).
If you look at the potentiometer, it has no influence onto V+ ...

What's the gain of this circuit?
A classic, first order, non-inverting amplifier as shown will typically have a closed loop gain of 1+ R2/R1 = 1 + 75/1 = 76. The 10K potentio-meter looks like a 10K load to the amplifier and will only ...

Can an output voltage of a simple comparator be higher than the input voltage?
You don't show the opamp supply, but when used as a comparator with no negative feedback, the op-amp output will go from one extreme (the negative supply or ground if single supply) to the other (the ...

How do you turn on an LED when the input voltage is less than 12V?
This design will switch on one or more LEDs with a reasonably constant current of 10mA, as soon as the supply voltage exceeds the LEDs' combined forward voltage. That would be 1.6V for a single red ...

Trying to simulate a basic op-amp intrgrator but cannot seem to find any error in my circuit
You have built a 200 Hz low-pass filter with gain of 10x are feeding it with 45 Hz.
So with those values, you will not see any ramps as the ramp is very quick compared to the frequency of the signal.

Trying to simulate a basic op-amp intrgrator but cannot seem to find any error in my circuit
The integrator is too fast. +12V at the input will produce this input current:

Ignoring R2, all this current passes through C1, ...

Trying to simulate a basic op-amp intrgrator but cannot seem to find any error in my circuit
Ignoring R2, a 12V input means almost 15mA, so a dv/dt at the output of almost 150V/ms until it saturates. At 20ms/div it will change 10V in about 1/200 of a division. So the ramps are there, just not ...

Using an opamp, I want to double a DC input signal that varies from 230 mVDC to 2300 mVDC. I want to use a single supply voltage of +5 vDC
You need to pick an op-amp and then you can explore the range of resistor values R that will work well with that op-amp.

Using an opamp, I want to double a DC input signal that varies from 230 mVDC to 2300 mVDC. I want to use a single supply voltage of +5 vDC
The circuit you have shown is an op-amp non-inverting amplifier whose gain is
