State, with reference to the input and output signals, the function of a non-inverting amplifier.
Fig. 7.1 shows the microphone-and-amplifier circuit. The output potential difference $V_{\text{OUT}}$ is $2.6\,\text{V}$ when the potential at point $P$ is $84\,\text{mV}$. Find the gain of the amplifier circuit.
Find the resistance of resistor $R$.
For the circuit in Fig. 7.1, suggest a suitable device to attach to the output so that the shape of the waveform of the sound picked up by the microphone can be examined.
For the circuit in Fig. 7.1, state and explain what happens to the output potential difference $V_{\text{OUT}}$ if the resistance of resistor $R$ is increased.
