CAPE Physics Unit 2 · 2017 · Paper 2 · Question 2(b)(i)

In an experiment to determine the frequency response of an open-loop op-amp, a constant sinusoidal input voltage of amplitude 0.1 mV is applied while measuring output voltage amplitude at various frequencies.

Complete Columns 3, 4, and 5 of Table 2, given that A_OL is the open-loop gain of the amplifier.
