Question

Which of the following is a false statement regarding the non-inverting amplifier using OP-AMP?

The correct answer is

It is limited to handling only DC signals

The question asks which statement about the non-inverting amplifier is false. This configuration feeds the input signal to the op-amp's non-inverting (+) terminal while a resistor divider from the output provides negative feedback to the inverting (−) terminal, giving a closed-loop voltage gain of Av = 1 + Rf/R1.

Checking each statement against the known properties:

  • High input impedance — TRUE. Because the signal drives the op-amp's non-inverting input directly, the source sees the amplifier's very large input impedance, which is a key advantage of this topology.
  • Higher magnitude gain for the same resistors than an inverting amplifier — TRUE. The non-inverting gain 1 + Rf/R1 is always one unit larger in magnitude than the inverting gain Rf/R1, so for identical resistor values its magnitude is greater.
  • Ideal for instrumentation and buffer circuits — TRUE. Its high input impedance (and, in the unity-gain limit, its role as a voltage follower) makes it excellent for buffering and for the front end of instrumentation amplifiers.
  • Limited to handling only DC signals — FALSE. A non-inverting amplifier handles both AC and DC signals; its useful frequency range is set by the op-amp's gain-bandwidth product, not by any restriction to DC. This is the false statement and therefore the answer.

So the incorrect claim is that the non-inverting amplifier works with DC only.
