A practical amplifier will contain several components of a "shunt" capacitance inherent in the transistor and physical wiring of the amplifier circuit. As the frequency of the input signal increases, the reactance of these shunt-capacitances will decrease until, at a frequency determined by the value of the shunt-capacitance and the circuit impedance, signal attenuation begins to take place. Thus the shunt capacitances limit the high-frequency response of the amplifier (note that the transistor itself also has inherent limits to it's high frequency amplifying capability).

In the case of operational amplifiers, many operational amplifiers are internally compensated by a small capacitor (e.g. about 30pf for a 741). The internal frequency compensation capacitor prevents the operational amplifier from oscillating with resistive feedback.

What is gain roll off?

A: As frequency increases all amplifier exhibits losses due to internal capacity or internal devices frequency limit. At the hi end of the frequency the amplifiers begins to loose gain gradually as a function of higher frequency that is what roll off is.


What causes the gain of OP AMP to roll off after a certain frequency is reached?

A: Any amplifier will reach a frequency cut off point because of hindered circuit capability however the roll of bust be controlled especially when reaching oDB point must be at a -3 db roll off to prevent hi frequency oscillation


What is -3dbBpoint in the scope?

This is the freq at which the vertical amplifier is 70% of the low frequency response to a sinusoidal input. It's also called the roll off (or cut off) frequency. The vertical amplifier is what sits behind each of the channels on a scope, and allows you to "zoom in" on a signal in the vertical direction (amplitude). A 100MHz scope is capable of displaying a 100MHz sinusoidal waveform but just that it's going to show it at 70% of the amplitude that it displays at ,say, 1MHz. This assumes the input signal does not roll off in amplitude. The scope is able to display higher frequencies, it's just that it cannot react to higher and higher freq. The roll off is defined by a -6dB/octave "curve", which when plotted on a log freq scale is a negative slope above the cut off freq.


Connect a 12v wire to an amplifier?

Ensure the amplifier is turned off. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the 12V wire to the amplifier's positive terminal and the negative (-) terminal of the 12V wire to the amplifier's negative terminal. Once connected securely, you can then power on the amplifier.

Why is it easier to tear a paper towel off of a full roll than off of a mostly used roll?

A full roll is very sturdy, while a mostly used roll is more fragile. Therefore, when you go to pull the paper off the full roll, it comes off easily without you having to steady the roll...but if you want to tear paper off a mostly used roll, you'll have to hold the roll down before you tear it off so the roll doesn't fall. Basically, because a full roll is sturdier than a mostly used roll.
