PROCEDURE:
1. Setup the circuit as shown in Fig. 3.
2. Adjust the DC-Voltages to Vcc=15V and -Vcc=-15 V.
3. Apply a sinusoidal signal having an amplitude of Vac=1 Vp-p &
a frequency of 1k Hz to the AC-input of the circuit.
4. Use the CRO to display both the input and output waveforms.
5. Switch the F.G. OFF,CH #1 of the CRO to DC-input & CH #2
of the CRO to DC, then plot Vo versus time (DC-only).
6. Switch the F.G. ON, CH #1 of the CRO to AC-input & CH #2
of the CRO to AC, then plot Vo versus time (AC-only).
7. Switch CH #2 of the CRO to DC & plot Vo versus time (DC &
AC).
8. Calculate the DC gain (Av), AC gain (Av) & Vo expression (AC
