Question # 1

Define current of gain of a transistor

Ans 1: The ratio of output current to input current is called current gain of a transistor.The ratio of collector current to base current is called current gain of a transistor.

Question # 2

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 # 3

Why is the photodiode operated in reverse biased state?

Ans 1: Photodiode is used for the detection of light.So it is used in reverse biased state.Reverse current increase with the intensity of incident light.When no light incidents,then reverse current will be negligible.

Question # 4

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 # 5

Question # 7

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 # 8

What do LED and LASER stand for?

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

Question # 9

What is the effect of forward biased and reverse biasing of a diode on the width of depletion region?

Ans 1: When forward biased then the width of depletion region decreases and when reverse biased then the width of depletion region increase.

Question # 10

How is the XOR gate so called?

Ans 1: One of its most commonly used applications is as a basic logic comparator which produce a logic "1" output when its two inputs bits are not equal.Because of the ,the XOR gate has an inequality status being known as an odd functions.

Question # 1

Define current of gain of a transistor

Ans 1: The ratio of output current to input current is called current gain of a transistor.The ratio of collector current to base current is called current gain of a transistor.

Question # 2

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 # 3

Define logic system and logic gates.

Ans 1: A digital system deals with the quantities or variable which have only two discrete values or state.
The electronic circuits which implements the various logic operation are known as logic gates.

Question # 4

What is OP-GATE?

Ans 1: OR-GATE implements the logic of OR operation.It has two or more inputs and a single output.Its output will be zero only when all the inputs are zero.

Question # 5

What is principle of vital ground?

Ans 1: In an operational amplifier ,if the non inverting terminal is grounded by the concept of virtual ground the inverting terminal is also at ground potential though there is no physical connection between the inverting terminal and the ground,This is the principle of virtual ground.

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
