CAPE Physics Unit 2 · 2010 · Paper 2 · Question 5(b)(ii)

A circuit like Figure 4 has R_f = 440 kΩ, R_i = 40 kΩ, operated from a ±5.0 V supply.

If the op-amp is NOT to be saturated, what is the MAXIMUM voltage amplitude for the input signal?

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
