Multisim is not giving any voltage value for this simple capacitor circuit
This is the circuit:
Even though I gave 12V it is showing 6V. Maybe it is peak voltage.
Why are the voltages across each capacitor so weird?

I used Multisim to simulate a circuit with an LM358 but it doesn't work. What is the problem?
The input is 1V. The output should be 1V*(1+R2/R1)=2V but the output in Multisim is 742.09mV. What is wrong?

How can I apply this Vs(t) = 5cos(2000t) into the multisim circuit?
I found the rms = 3.53
it has 2000t whereas omega,w = 2000
so how can I use it to the AC source
