source current and sink current measurement in 741 op-amp

[ureshii_hana]

hello there.. i currently have a little bit confuse how to measure the source current and sink current in 741 op-amp circuit. so i need some help from you all.

from my understanding, source current is the current output from the output terminal while sink current is the current input to the output terminal. i have check all the manufacture for this 741 op-amp, but cannot find the specification value for source and sink current.

here i attact my measurement circuit for source current and sink current.

source current measurement circuit
my ideas is:

• give a single supply for these op-amp.

• input voltage V1 and V2, i have to vary till get high output voltage

V1 = Vcc/2 +__V
V2 = Vcc/2 - __V

sink current measurement circuit

• also give a single supply for these op-amp.

(i dont really know how to measure the sink current for this circuit)


P/s: I am a new beginner, sorry if the question that i'm asking is too general.
is it "source current" term@definition is same with "current source"???

Why don't you just use the Output Short Circuit Current spec from the **broken link removed**?

hi,
Also check the current label values in the images.

When sourcing current, consider where the current must be coming from.?
Hint: the power supply label values.

Your simulation software is completely wrong.
