A differential amplifier typically has two input terminals: one for the non-inverting input and one for the inverting input. Therefore, the maximum number of possible inputs in a standard differential amplifier is two. However, more complex configurations can be created using multiple differential amplifiers in a circuit, but each individual stage still fundamentally operates with two inputs.
A: By applying two known DC input with a known gain the output will be there to prove the difference.
I assume you mean a differential amplifier. A differential amplifier has two outputs, and two inputs. One input may be grounded out, so there is only one apparent input. When a signal is applied to the non grounded input, it is amplified at one output. The circuitry causes a negative ampification at the other output, so the two outputs taken together give double the output as opposed to using just one.
To measure the Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) of the 741C operational amplifier, you apply a common-mode signal to both inputs while ensuring the differential input signal is zero. You then measure the output voltage and calculate the CMRR using the formula: CMRR = 20 log(V_diff/V_cm), where V_diff is the differential output voltage and V_cm is the common-mode output voltage. A high CMRR indicates that the amplifier effectively rejects common-mode signals, which is crucial for accurate amplification in differential signal applications.
A differential amplifier using the IC 741 is designed to amplify the difference between two input voltages while rejecting any common-mode signals. It typically involves connecting two resistors to the inverting (-) and non-inverting (+) inputs of the IC, along with feedback resistors to set the gain. By configuring the circuit with the appropriate resistor values, you can achieve the desired amplification while ensuring stability and linearity. The output voltage is then proportional to the difference between the two input signals, making it useful in applications like signal processing and instrumentation.
If the output of the operational amplifier is inconsistent with the inputs, then you are operating outside of the limits of the device. You might also have experienced lockup, a characteristic where the output locks in one state, but this still stems from operating outside of limits. Make sure the inputs are always within the specified range.

I assume you're referring to an amplifier circuit. In a differential amplifier, there are two inputs. The common mode output voltage is the output voltage that will result from the same voltage being applied to both inputs. Typically this is very low, as the common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) is very high in a differential amplifier. This is an ideal characteristic (high CMRR) as it means unwanted noise will not be amplified and potentially squelch out the desired signal; this is why a differential amplifier is used in high quality sound equipment. Three wires are used - a ground, and two signal wires that are opposite each other. Noise will inherently "hop on" the signal wires, but as they are close to one another, it is likely the noise will be nearly the same magnitude and sign on each wire. Since the amplifier CMRR is high, this noise does not propogate through the amplifier, while the original signal is amplified.

You want an amplifier to reject common mode signals (the same signal applied to both inputs of a differential amplifier) because:it is generally noise, which sounds like staticit can cause drift in the amplifier eventually saturating it, causing clipping distortionBTW, single ended input amplifiers by definition have a CMRR of zero.

A:from a single ended none main concern is offset voltages and current offset and for some latch-up Further explanation: A differential amplifier is actually a very advanced (and good!) amplifier - it (at a minimum) consists of two transistors and biasing schemes, and in a basic form has two inputs and two outputs - one output is inverting, the other is non inverting, thus the two outputs can be used together to provide a 3dB (2 x) gain over using a single output. From a signal to noise ratio, a differential amplifier is also a cut above if implemented correctly and designed well. For the best results, a positive and negative signal should be transmitted to the amplifier. One goes to either input of the amplifier, with the other to the other input. Noise inherently will be added onto both of these lines, but the noise will tend to be in the same direction for both. A differential amplifier has a high "common mode rejection", which means if the same voltage is applied to both inputs, the output will not change (it only amplifies the difference between the inputs). This is why sound boards and a lot of other A/V equipment use differential amplifiers. If these features are not important for your design, then the added complexity of circuitry (usually requiring a positive and negative voltage, multiple transistors, etc.) becomes a disadvantage. Also, if you are just starting out, designing one well may be a bit over your head (a clear disadvantage when you don't know what's going on in the circuit - it becomes very difficult to trouble shoot).
If it has auxiliary inputs, such as a line level input, then yes, it should be able to serve as an amplifier. Be warned though that it probably won't work well as a guitar / instrument amplifier.
CT's are used as inputs to the differential. If the CT is bad, or it is not wired to the differential correctly, it will cause differential current to be seen by the relay, resulting in a trip.
It can be, but may not be required. Capacitors are used for biasing purposes, to remove DC from inputs, and for filtering in amplifier circuits (just to name a few).
The main difference from linear attack is that differential attack involves comparing the XOR of two inputs to the XOR of the corresponding outputs.
