C
The output voltage remains constant regardless of input changes
D
The output voltage oscillates between high and low values
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Answer
When the input voltage rises, the negative‑feedback loop forces the op‑amp output to change in the same direction but with a reduced magnitude, because the feedback reduces the effective gain. The amplifier therefore produces a larger output voltage, but the increase is smaller than the input change would produce without feedback. This keeps the error between the input and the feedback‑sampled voltage small and the circuit stable. For example, in a non‑inverting amplifier with a closed‑loop gain of 10, a 1 V rise at the input will raise the output by about 10 V, not by 1 V. Thus, the primary effect is a proportional but attenuated rise in the output voltage.
Detailed Explanation
Negative feedback tells the op‑amp to move its output so that the difference between its two input pins stays at zero. Other options are incorrect because The misconception here is that the output simply follows the input; Some think the output stays fixed because the feedback is always on.
