AC analysis requires knowing the slope of the BE junction at the operating point, which you don't show or discuss in your question. Also, the emitter capacitor, as shown completely bypassing the...

Safety against what? If you are talking about the eye, then my vague recollection is that a substantial part of 740-780 nm is absorbed at the retina and can cause heat-related damage. The part of it...

@smartony152 Imagine the opamp sets its output to A*(pin3-pin2). Pin3 is at 3 V. Pin 2 is at 3.5 V. Suppose A=500,000!. Then the output would be 500,000*(3-3.5)=-250 kV!!! Obviously, that's not going...

Trying to read between the lines, I think you are wondering how \$\left(1+\frac{R_{13}}{R_{14}}\right)\$ gets removed from the \$V_x\$ term in the equation. Perhaps the confusion so far is that you...

If they are all to be related to each other and you need to demonstrate all three (4-in, 3-in, and 2-in) then this may be how I'd approach it. It's not optimal. But it shows a common approach that can...
