Components:
o LM324 quad op amp
o 2.2k resistor, 10k resistor 2k resisters
o Power supply
o Function generator
o Oscilloscope
Objective:
To understand a multiple op amp operation with single dc input as
well as multiple op amp operation with AC and DC inputs and how
the multiple op amps behave.

However these voltage levels cause saturation and the output becomes
the Vin to the power for the op amp, the result is a waveform as follows.
Notice the slight clip at the top of the waveform, which is a resultant of
of the addition of the negative dc value (-7.272V) plus the ac value at
the positive peak (19.8V), -7.271V+19.8V=12.5V and a saturation level
of 12V.

Conclusion:
During this experiment we used all 4 op amps on the lm324 IC, however results
were inconclusive due to anomalies in the physical experimentation. The simulated
results were much more in accordance to the values calculated on paper. All
measured values were taken from multisim instead, due to lack of time we could not
resolve the issue so in order to at least obtain results we had resorted to using
multisim instead. To my relief the simulation gave accurate and correct results.
Further investigation must be done to troubleshoot the erroneous results we were
getting from the physical experimentation. As far as the simulation goes I learned
how multiple op amps work together to produce a single output. As well as
calculating the output given, multiple sources, AC or DC.
