maximum value of opamp

Course Textbook Chapter Problem
N/A N/A N/A N/A
Question Details:
The op-amp in the circuit shown is ideal. If Vg = 0.3 V, R1 = 3.0k Ohm, R2 = 4.9k Ohm, R3 = 190k Ohm, R4 = 20k Ohm, and R5 = 220k Ohm.

Find the maximum value of a so the opamp does not saturate.

 
Correct answer 0.421

"THANKSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Response Details:
Given that op-amp is ideal one so due to virtual short-circuit the voltage at the inverting terminal is zero.
By applying KCL at the inverting terminal we can write
................ (1)
Maximum saturation output voltages in both the directions are -10V and +10V
So in order avoid saturation we need to consider   and
Take
Substitute all known the values in the above equation
 
Checking:
Consider
Now from equation (1) we can write
Which is less than saturation voltage.
 
 
I hope this helps you.....................
