Figure — An op-amp inverting adder (summing amplifier). Three inputs are applied to the inverting (\(-\)) summing node: \(1\text{ V}\) through — Class 12 Electronics question
FigureAn op-amp inverting adder (summing amplifier). Three inputs are applied to the inverting (\(-\)) summing node: \(1\text{ V}\) through — Class 12 Electronics question

[!TLDR]

The inverting adder produces VO=−1 VV_O=-1\text{ V} for the three weighted inputs.

In an inverting adder each input drives its own resistor into the common virtual-ground node at the inverting terminal. Because that node stays at 0 V and no current enters the op-amp, the individual input currents add and all flow through the feedback resistor, giving

VO=−Rf ⁣(V1R1+V2R2+V3R3)V_O=-R_f\!\left(\dfrac{V_1}{R_1}+\dfrac{V_2}{R_2}+\dfrac{V_3}{R_3}\right)

Substituting Rf=2 kΩR_f=2\text{ k}\Omega and the three input/resistor pairs, …
