For IC 741 circuit shown below, the maximum input frequency above which the output will be distorted is ____________. 

The correct answer is
8.33 kHZ

To determine the maximum input frequency above which the output of the IC 741 will be distorted, we need to consider the slew rate of the operational amplifier. The slew rate is the maximum rate of change of the output voltage and is critical in determining the maximum input frequency to avoid distortion.

The slew rate (\(SR\)) is given by:

\(SR = \frac{dV_o}{dt}\)

For the IC 741, the typical slew rate is \(0.5 \, \text{V/μs}\).

Let \(V_m\) be the amplitude of the output voltage. The maximum frequency (\(f_{max}\)) without distortion can be found using the formula:

\(f_{max} = \frac{SR}{2\pi V_m}\)

Assuming a maximum output voltage swing of \(V_m = 10 \, \text{V}\), the maximum frequency is calculated as follows:

\(f_{max} = \frac{0.5 \times 10^6}{2 \pi \times 10}\)

Solving the above equation:

\(f_{max} = \frac{0.5 \times 10^6}{62.83} \approx 8.33 \, \text{kHz}\)

Thus, the maximum input frequency above which the output will be distorted is 8.33 kHz.
