If internal resistance of cell is negligible, then current flowing through the circuit is
A
$$\frac{3}{{50}}A$$
B
$$\frac{5}{{50}}A$$
C
$$\frac{4}{{50}}A$$
D
$$\frac{2}{{50}}A$$
Answer :
$$\frac{5}{{50}}A$$
In the circuit, diode $${D_1}$$ is forward biased and diode $${D_2}$$ is reverse biased. Therefore, no current flows in the arm containing $${D_2}$$ and all of the current flows through arm containing $${D_1}.$$
Thus, current flowing through the circuit is given by
$$I = \frac{V}{{{R_{eq}}}} = \frac{5}{{20 + 30}} = \frac{5}{{50}}\,A\,\,\left[ {\because {R_{eq}} = 20\,\Omega + 30\,\Omega } \right]$$

The difference in the variation of resistance with temeperature in a metal and a semiconductor arises essentially due to the difference in the
A
crystal sturcture
B
variation of the number of charge carriers with temperature
C
type of bonding
D
variation of scattering mechanism with temperature
Answer :
variation of the number of charge carriers with temperature
When the temperature increases, certain bounded electrons become free which tend to promote conductivity. Simultaneously number of collisions between electrons and positive kernels increases

Which one of the following gates will have an output of 1?
A
A
B
B
C
C
D
D
Answer :
C
(A) Gate $$A$$ is NAND gate, its output will be
$${Y_A} = \overline {1 \cdot 1} = \overline 1 = 0$$
(B) Gate $$B$$ is NOR gate, its output will be
$${Y_B} = \overline {1 + 1} = \overline 1 = 0$$
(C) Gate $$C$$ is NAND gate, its output will be
$${Y_C} = \overline {0 \cdot 1} = \overline 0 = 1$$
(D) Gate $$D$$ is XOR gate, its output will be
$${Y_D} = 0 \oplus 0 = 0 \cdot \overline 0 + \overline 0 \cdot 0 = 0$$
Thus, gate (C) will give an output of 1.

In a common emitter transistor amplifier, the audio signal voltage across the collector is $$3\,V.$$ The resistance of collector is $$3\,k\Omega .$$ If current gain is 100 and the base resistance is $$2\,k\Omega ,$$ the voltage and power gain of the amplifier is
A
200 and 1000
B
15 and 200
C
150 and 15000
D
20 and 2000
Answer :
150 and 15000
Collector current $${i_C} = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{3}{{3 \times {{10}^3}}} = {10^{ - 3}}A$$
Now base current, $${i_B} = \frac{{{i_C}}}{B} = \frac{{{{10}^{ - 3}}}}{{100}} = {10^{ - 5}}A$$
As, voltage $${V_{{\text{in}}}} = {i_B}{R_B}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore {V_{{\text{in}}}} = {10^{ - 5}} \times 2 \times {10^3} \cr
& = 2 \times {10^{ - 2}}volts \cr} $$
So, voltage gain $${A_V} = \frac{{{V_{{\text{out}}}}}}{{{V_{{\text{in}}}}}} = \frac{3}{{2 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}}} = 150$$
Power gain $$ = {A_V} \times \beta = 150 \times 100 = 15000$$

A red LED emits light at $$0.1\,watt$$ uniformly around it. The amplitude of the electric field of the light at a distance of $$1m$$ from the diode is :
18.
To obtain a $$p$$-type germanium semiconductor, it must be doped with
A
phosphorus
B
indium
C
antimony
D
arsenic
Answer :
indium
If a trivalent impurity is mixed in a pure (intrinsic) semiconductor, then it becomes a $$p$$-type semiconductor. As given indium is trivalent impurity so it must be doped to $$Ge$$ or $$Si$$ to make it $$p$$-type semiconductor.

The input resistance of a silicon transistor is $$100\,W.$$ Base current is changed by $$40\,\mu A$$ which results in a change in collector current by $$2\,mA.$$ This transistor is used as a common emitter amplifier with a load resistance of $$4\,K\Omega .$$ The voltage gain of the amplifier is :

In a common emitter $$\left( {CE} \right)$$ amplifier having a voltage gain $$G,$$ the transistor used has transconductance $$0.03\,mho$$ and current gain 25. If the above transistor is replaced with another one with transconductance
$$0.02\,mho$$ and current gain 20, the voltage gain will
A
$$\frac{2}{3}G$$
B
$$1.5\,G$$
C
$$\frac{1}{3}G$$
D
$$\frac{5}{4}G$$
Answer :
$$\frac{2}{3}G$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{As}}\,\,{A_v} = \beta \frac{{{R_L}}}{{{R_i}}}\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,G = \left( {\frac{\beta }{{{R_i}}}} \right){R_L} \cr
& \Rightarrow G = {g_m}{R_L} \Rightarrow G \propto {g_m}\,\,\left[ {\because {g_m} = \frac{{\Delta {I_C}}}{{\Delta {V_B}}} = \frac{{\Delta {I_C}}}{{\Delta {I_B}{R_i}}}} \right]\,\left[ {\because {g_m} = \frac{\beta }{{{R_i}}}} \right] \cr
& \therefore \frac{{{G_2}}}{{{G_1}}} = \frac{{{g_{{m_2}}}}}{{{g_{{m_1}}}}} \Rightarrow {G_2} = \frac{{0.02}}{{0.03}} \times G \cr} $$
So, voltage gain, $${G_2} = \frac{2}{3}G$$
