negative feedback and the ideal operational amplifier's virtual short hold the inverting node at zero potential, with no current entering either input. The parallel feedback resistor and capacitor have electrical impedanceKirchhoff's current law at the inverting node gives . For the component values read from the circuit,This inverting low-pass amplifier has a DC gain magnitude of 1000 and cutoff frequency Hz. At the corner, . Above it the gain approaches , with in Hz: a slope of on logarithmic axes, or dB per decade on a Bode plot. At Hz the magnitudes are approximately . These are voltage ratios, not decibels.
