In Op amp pin No. 3 is______.
Inverting input
Non inverting input
Power supply
GND
Non inverting input
In the standard 8-pin dual in-line package (DIP) of operational amplifiers like the popular IC 741, Pin No. 3 is specifically designated as the non-inverting input terminal (V+тАЛ). A signal applied to this input produces an output signal that is in-phase with the input. In contrast, Pin No. 2 serves as the inverting input (VтИТтАЛ).

When a voltage signal is applied to the non-inverting input (Pin 3) with respect to ground, the output voltage changes in the same direction, maintaining the same phase relationship. The operational amplifier amplifies the differential voltage between Pin 3 and Pin 2 according to the relation VoтАЛ=AdтАЛ(Vpin3тАЛтИТVpin2тАЛ), where AdтАЛ is the open-loop differential voltage gain.
IC 741 is an 8-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP) Operational Amplifier.
Pin 2 is the Inverting Input (тИТ), Pin 3 is the Non-Inverting Input (+).
Pin 4 is connected to negative power supply (тИТVEEтАЛ) or Ground, and Pin 7 is connected to positive power supply (+VCCтАЛ).
Pin 6 is the Output terminal, and Pins 1 & 5 are used for Offset Null adjustment.
High input impedance at Pin 3 prevents loading down preceding circuit stages.
Provides in-phase signal amplification when input is supplied to Pin 3.
Input bias current flows through Pin 3, causing small offset voltages if uncompensated.
Exceeding maximum input voltage rating at Pin 3 can damage the internal differential transistor pair.
Non-inverting amplifier configurations
Voltage follower / Buffer circuits (high input impedance, unity gain)
Summing amplifiers and differential amplifiers
Pin 1: Offset Null (Used to eliminate output offset voltage)
Pin 2: Inverting Input (180┬░ phase shift between input and output)
Pin 3: Non-Inverting Input (0┬░ phase shift between input and output)
Pin 4: Negative power supply voltage (тИТVEEтАЛ or GND)
Pin 5: Offset Null
Pin 6: Output voltage (VoтАЛ)

Pin 8: No Connection (NC)
B is correct тАФ Pin 3 of an operational amplifier IC (like IC 741) is the non-inverting input terminal.
Remember the mnemonic '1-5 Null, 2-3 Input (Inv/Non-inv), 4-7 Supply, 6 Output' to quickly recall IC 741 pinouts in competitive exams.
