Question # 1

What do LED and LASER stand for?

Ans 1: LED stands for light emitting diode..
Laser stands for light amplification stimulated emission radiation .

Question # 2

Give two applications of gated in control system.

Ans 1: Gates are widely used in control system.They control the function of the system by monitoring some physical parameters such as temperature ,pressure or some other physical quantity of the system,Sensors are required to operate gates.

Question # 3

Give any two characteristics of operational amplifier.

Ans 1: Input Resistance: It is the resistance between the + and - input of the amplifier,Whose value is of the order of several mega ohms.
Output resistance:It is the resistance between the output terminal and ground.Its value is only a few ohms.

Question # 4

How the current flows in forward and reverse biased diode?

Ans 1: In forward biasing,the external potential difference supplies energy to free electrons in n-region and holes in p-region to overcome the potential barrier,a current of the orderof a few milli-amperes begins to flow across the pn junction.
In reverse biasing ,no current flow due to the majority charge carrier,However a very small current of the order of of few micro amperes flow across the junction due to minority charge carriers.It is also known as reverse current or leakage current.

Question # 5

The anode of a diode is 0.2V positive with respect to the cathode,It it forward biased?

Ans 1: Yes when anode is 0.2V positive with respect to cathode,it is forward biased.But the value of potential barrier for germanium is 0.3 V and for silicon is 0.7 V.Therefore there will be no conduction of current.

Question # 6

Write a note on LED.

Ans 1: Light emitting diode are made from the special semiconductor such as gallium arsenide and gallium arsenide phosphide in which the potential barrier between p and n side is such that when electrons combines with a hole during forward biased conduction,a photon of visible light is emitted.
LED are used in 7-segment display,small light sources etc.

Question # 7

Define Open Loop gain of operational amplifier.

Question # 8

Why charge carriers are not present in the depletion region?

Ans 1: This is due to the fact when an electron from an n region diffuses into the p-region,it leaves behind a positive ion.When this electron recombines with the hole in the p-region,a negative ion is formed,So no charge carrier are available in this region,though it contains immobile positive and negative ions.

Question # 9

Define Open Loop gain of operational amplifier.

Ans 1: The ratio of output voltage to voltage difference between non -inverting and inverting inputs ,when there is no external connection between the input and output is called open loop gain of operational amplifier.

Question # 10

Why the base current is transistor is very small?

Ans 1: Base is very thin so a number of electrons attracted by collector and very few enter into the base.And base current is very small.
