Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. An operational amplifier can be used as an oscillator. 2. The operational amplifier circuit depends on a slight imbalance in the op amp or random circuit noise to start the oscillator. 3. A voltage difference of only a few hundred millivolts is all that is needed to make the output of the amplifier go high or low. 4. If the oscilloscope is connected to a pulse generator, the positive pulse is much longer than the negative pulse. 5. The 741 operational amplifier can easily be changed from a square-wave oscillator to a pulse generator.
