CAPE Physics Unit 2 · 2011 · Paper 2 · Question 5(b)(iii)

The circuit in Figure 5 (a) is modified by adding a 2.0 M-ohm feedback resistor and a 0.4 M-ohm resistor between the inverting input P and earth, with the ac supply reconnected between Q and earth.

Calculate the MAXIMUM input voltage for no saturation at the output.
