Line 2:
Open loop gain is usually exceedingly high; in fact, an ideal operational amplifier has infinite open-loop gain. Typically an op-amp may have an open-loop gain of around <math>10^9</math>. Normally, feedback is applied around the op-amp so that the gain of the overall [[electrical network|circuit]] is defined and kept to a figure which is more usable. However the very high gain of the op-amp enables considerable levels of feedback to be applied to achieve required performance. The open-loop gain of an operational amplifier falls very rapidly with increasing [[frequency]]. Along with [[slew rate]], this is one of the reasons why operational amplifiers have limited [[Bandwidth (signal processing)|bandwidth]].
