To design a non-inverting amplifier with a gain of 2 and a maximum output voltage of 10 V, we can use the following circuit:

Here, R1 and R2 form a voltage divider to set the input voltage. The gain of the amplifier is given by:
Gain = 1 + R2/R1
We want a gain of 2, so we can choose R1 = 10 kΩ and R2 = 10 kΩ. This gives us a gain of:
Gain = 1 + 10/10 = 2
To ensure that the maximum output voltage is 10 V, we need to choose a power supply voltage that is higher than 10 V. Let's choose a power supply voltage of 12 V.
To calculate the values of R3 and R4, we need to first calculate the current in the voltage divider. Let's assume that the input voltage is 5 V. Then the current in the voltage divider is:
I = (12 V - 5 V)/(10 kΩ + 10 kΩ) = 0.35 mA
We want the current in the voltage divider to be 10 times smaller than the input bias current of the op-amp. Let's assume that the input bias current is 10 nA. Then we can choose R3 and R4 such that the current flowing through them is 1 nA.
Let's choose R3 = R4 = 1 MΩ. Then the current flowing through R3 and R4 is:
I = (12 V - Vout)/2 MΩ = 1 nA
Solving for Vout, we get:
Vout = 12 V - 2 MΩ * 1 nA = 10 V
This confirms that the maximum output voltage is 10 V.
Therefore, the values of the resistors for the non-inverting amplifier with a gain of 2 and a maximum output voltage of 10 V, with a current in the voltage divider of 10, are:
R1 = 10 kΩ
R2 = 10 kΩ
R3 = 1 MΩ
R4 = 1 MΩ
