A particular op amp using ±15-V supplies operates linearly for outputs in the range −12 V to +12 V. If used in an inverting amplifier configuration of gain –100, what is the rms value of the largest possible sine wave that can be applied at the input without output clipping?

A particular op amp using ±15-V supplies operates linearly for outputs in the range −12 V to +12 V. If used in an inverting amplifier configuration of gain –100, what is the rms value of the largest possible sine wave that can be applied at the input without output clipping? Correct Answer 84.85 mV

Peak value of input wave = 12/100 or 120 mV. Hence the rms value is 120/√2 or 84.85 mV.
