What term is most appropriate for a high gain, direct-coupled differential amplifier whose characteristics are determined by components mounted externally?

  1. AOperational amplifier
  2. BDifference amplifier
  3. CHigh gain audio amplifier
  4. DSumming amplifier

Correct answer: A — Operational amplifier. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

An operational amplifier is a high-gain, direct-coupled differential amplifier where external components like resistors and capacitors set its specific behaviour, such as gain or frequency response. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
