Photoelectric effect — practice question

A section of a circuit containing an operational amplifier (op-amp) is shown in Fig. 9.1.
(a(i))[2]

A relay has been attached to the output of the op-amp circuit so that a lamp can be switched on or off. Finish Fig. 9.1 by showing how the relay is connected into the circuit.

(a(ii))[2]

State and explain whether the op-amp output must be positive or negative for the lamp to turn on.

(b(i))[1]

State the device in Fig. 9.1 that could be used so that the circuit shows a change in the bending of a rod.

(b(ii))[1]

State the device in Fig. 9.1 that could be used so that the circuit shows a change in the level of daylight to switch on a street light.

(a)

A relay is attached to the output of the op-amp circuit so that a lamp can be switched on or off.

(b)

State the device in Fig. 9.1 that could be used so that the circuit shows a change in:
