Operational Amplifier Basics
           Revision Question 1
Figure 1 shows the representation of a voltage amplifier with
   a fraction β of the output fed back to the input. Derive an
   expression for the closed-loop voltage gain,
Gv = Vout/Vin in terms of the open-loop voltage gain, Avo and
   the feedback fraction β.
