Output Devices problem 13


A circuit incorporating an ideal op-amp is to be used to indicate whether a door is open or closed. Resistors, each of resistance , are connected to the inputs of the op-amp, as shown in the figure below.




The switch S is attached to the door so that, when the door is open, the switch is open. The switch closes when the door is closed. A red light-emitting diode (LED) is to be used to indicate when the door is open. A green LED is to indicate when the door is closed. On the figure above,


  • draw symbols for the LEDs to show how they are connected to the output of the op-amp,


  • identify the green LED with the letter G.
