What do capacitors do in op amps?
Op-amp Differentiator Circuit The capacitor blocks any DC content so there is no current flow to the amplifier summing point, X resulting in zero output voltage. The capacitor only allows AC type input voltage changes to pass through and whose frequency is dependant on the rate of change of the input signal.

How is a capacitor used to stabilize an opamp?
Such a capacitor between both inputs (very often, in series with a small resistor) is a kind of external lag compensation. This is a simple method to stabilize an opamp (with strong feedback) that is not unity-gain compensated.
How is the op-amp integrator an operational amplifier?
As its name implies, the Op-amp Integrator is an operational amplifier circuit that performs the mathematical operation of Integration, that is we can cause the output to respond to changes in the input voltage over time as the op-amp integrator produces an output voltage which is proportional to the integral of the input voltage.
Which is the output signal of an operational amplifier?
The output voltage signal from an Operational Amplifier is the difference between the signals being applied to its two individual inputs. In other words, an op-amps output signal is the difference between the two input signals as the input stage of an Operational Amplifier is in fact a differential amplifier as shown below.
How does a zero frequency capacitor affect an amplifier?
At zero frequency (0Hz) or DC, the capacitor acts like an open circuit due to its reactance thus blocking any output voltage feedback. As a result very little negative feedback is provided from the output back to the input of the amplifier.
