For an inverting amplifier, as shown above, the voltage gain is given by:

\(A_v=\frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}}\)

The ideal opamp will be having virtual ground and the current entering the op-amp will be 0.

Therefore, by applying KCL at the inverting terminal of opamp we get:

\(\frac{V_{in}-0}{R_1}=\frac{0-V_{out}}{R_f}\)

\(\frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}}=-\frac{R_f}{R_i}\)

∴ The gain can be reduced by increasing the value of Ri
