In most cases only the two inputs and the output areshown for the op amp. However, one should keep inmind that supply voltage is required, and a ground.The basic op amp without a ground is shown below.

For most all operational amplifiers, Ri is 1 meg orlarger and Ro is around 50 or less. The open-loop gain, A, is greater than 100,000.
