Consider the Schmitt trigger circuit shown below. A triangular wave which goes from - 12 V to 12 V is applied to the inverting input of the op-amp. Assume that the output of the op-amp moves from +15 V to -15 V. The voltage at the non-inverting switches between
-12 V and +12 V
-7.5 V and +7.5 V
-5 V and +5 V
0 V and 5 V
Answer: Option
Explanation:

V0 is switching between + 15 to - 150

Thus voltage at non-inverting input switches between

, 7.5 to - 7.5 .

It should be -5 to 5 because the top resistor also affects the beta and beta will be 10/(30) i.e 1/3.

If the answer is 7.5. Then what is the need for the top resistor (10k)?
