hi, guys
For the UA741CN, i connect it as a non-inverting amplfier,
and when there is no input voltage supply just only the Vcc and -Vcc
and the output it show high voltage...
should be in Zero or very small value right??
And, now im supplying 0.45V to the input pin of amplifier and no matter how much i changing the value of resistor with R1 and R2
the Output voltage is also same as the value that when there is no input voltage...
is it got any reasons will cause it??

Assuming that you are using a dual power supply for your opamp, you will need to have a high valued resistor to ground on the positive input. Leaving the input open permits the input to float to an indeterminant voltage that is governed by the leakage current present at the input.

yes, im using two power supply
with +5V and -5V to op amp

and i use +5V and -5V still cannot get the Vout i want
i increase it to +15V and -15V but it show the output voltage is 0V

So when you apply, for example, a 1 volt DC signal to the positive input of the non-inverting opamp, your output remains at zero volts?

ya, it is happended at zero volts when i'm varying the positive input from 0V to 5V when i'm using +15V and -15V to op amp

but when i'm using +5V and -5V it shown 4.xxV

Either your opamp:

1. is damaged.
2. has one or more of its pins short to another pin.
3. has an open connection.

There is no need to power the opamp with anything more that +5 and -5 volts until you have determined what is keeping it from working. Raising the supply voltage could damage the part if something is wired wrong.
