Charging of capacitors with double switch. The principle of operation of auto-zero and chopper-stabilized DC amplifiers
The principle of operation of auto-zero and chopper-stabilized DC amplifiers, which is realized in many contemporary operational amplifiers is illustrated by a simple experimental setup given at the Open Experimental Physics Olympiad 2014 - "The Day of the Capacitor", held in Sofia and Gevgelija. The Olympiad was organized by the Sofia Branch of the Union of Physicists in Bulgaria and the Regional Society of Physicists of Strumica, Macedonia. In addition to the solution of the secondary school task in the paper is given a detailed engineering description of the patent by Edwin Goldberg and Jules Lehmann, Stabilized direct current amplifier, U.S. Patent 2,684,999 (1949).
