Assignment 1
An ideal operational amplifier is used in the circuit shown in Figure 2 with constant input
of 0.50 V and power supplies of +6 V and -6 V.
                                            6.8 kΩ
                  6.8 kΩ             +6 V
                                 -
                                 +
              Vin = 0.5 V            -6 V             Vout
         0V

(a) Calculate the gain of this amplifier circuit.                    (1 mark)
(b) What is output voltage V out ?                                   (1 mark)
(c) The constant input is then changed from 0.5 V to a sinusoidal alternating voltage of
    V rms.                                                           (1 mark)
    (i) Calculate the peak value of the input voltage.
    (ii) With the power supply as indicated, what are the maximum and minimum values
        of the output voltage?                                       (2 marks)
