Figure 1.32 If we want to sense the open-circuit voltage of a source, the amplifier should have a high input resistance, as in (a). To sense short-circuit current, low input resistance is called for, as in (b). Voltage and Current Sources. Practical Considerations: R in 13

Figure 1.33 If the amplifier output impedance R o is much less than the (lowest) load resistance, the load voltage is nearly independent of the number of switches closed. Practical Considerations: R o 14
