Input Resistance

If you connect one of the two input legs of the op amp to ground and then measure the resistance between the other input leg and ground, you'll find that it's not infinite as we said it would be in the previous chapter. In fact, it'll be somewhere up around $1 M\Omega$ give or take. This value is known as the ``input resistance.''
