State, with reference to the input and output signals, what a non-inverting amplifier does.
In Fig. 7.1, the circuit for the microphone and amplifier is shown. When the potential at point $P$ is $84\,\text{mV}$, the output potential difference $V_{\text{OUT}}$ is $2.6\,\text{V}$. Determine the gain of the amplifier circuit.
Determine the resistance value of resistor $R$.
For the circuit in Fig. 7.1, suggest a suitable device to attach to the output so that the waveform shape of the sound collected by the microphone can be inspected.
State and explain the effect on the output potential difference $V_{\text{OUT}}$ when the resistance of resistor $R$ is increased.
