In bcc structure of lattice constant $$a,$$ the minimum distance between atoms is
A
$$\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}a$$
B
$$\sqrt 2 a$$
C
$$\frac{a}{{\sqrt 2 }}$$
D
$$\frac{a}{2}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}a$$
In a bcc structure, the position vectors of the nearest neighbours of the origin are
$$\left( { \pm \frac{a}{2}\hat i, \pm \frac{a}{2}\hat j, \pm \frac{a}{2}\hat k} \right)$$
The distance between any two nearest neighbours is given but the resultant of above position vector is
$$\sqrt {{{\left( {\frac{a}{2}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {\frac{a}{2}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {\frac{a}{2}} \right)}^2}} = \sqrt {\frac{{3{a^2}}}{4}} $$
$$ = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}a$$

What is the voltage gain in a common emitter amplifier, where input resistance is $$3\,\Omega $$ and load resistance $$24\,\Omega ,\beta = 0.6$$ ?
A
8.4
B
4.8
C
2.4
D
480
Answer :
4.8
Voltage gain, $${A_v} = \beta \frac{{{R_L}}}{{{R_i}}} = 0.6 \times \frac{{24}}{3} = 4.8$$

The output of OR gate is 1
A
only if both inputs are zero
B
if either or both inputs are 1
C
only if both inputs are 1
D
if either input is zero
Answer :
if either or both inputs are 1
OR gate has two inputs A and B and output Y. It follows a logic operation represented by '+'. Thus, its Boolean expression is
A + B = Y
The truth table of OR gate is
A
B
Y
0
0

Thus, after observing its Boolean expression and its truth table, it is obvious that output of OR gate is 1 if either or both inputs are 1.

When $$p-n$$ junction diode is forward biased then
A
both the depletion region and barrier height are reduced
B
the depletion region is widened and barrier height is reduced
C
the depletion region is reduced and barrier height is increased
D
Both the depletion region and barrier height are increased
Answer :
both the depletion region and barrier height are reduced
Both the depletion region and barrier height is reduced.
87.
$$C$$ and $$Si$$ both have same lattice structure, having 4 bonding electrons in each. However, $$C$$ is insulator whereas $$Si$$ is intrinsic semiconductor. This is because
A
in case of $$C,$$ the valence bond is not completely filled at absolute zero temperature
B
in case of $$C,$$ the conduction band is partly filled even at absolute zero temperature
C
the four bonding electrons in the case of $$C$$ lie in the second orbit, whereas in the case of $$Si$$ they lie in the third
D
the four bonding electrons in the case of $$C$$ lie in the third orbit, whereas for $$Si$$ they lie in the fourth orbit
Answer :
the four bonding electrons in the case of $$C$$ lie in the second orbit, whereas in the case of $$Si$$ they lie in the third
The four bonding electrons in the case of $$C$$ lie in the second orbit, whereas in case of $$Si$$ they lies in the third orbit. So loosely bounded valence electrons are present in $$Si$$ as compared to $$C.$$

The figure shows a logic circuit with two inputs $$A$$ and $$B$$ and the output $$C.$$ The voltage waveforms across $$A,B$$ and $$C$$ are as given. The logic circuit gate is
A
OR gate
B
NOR gate
C

Answer :
both in region $$\left( {{\text{I}}} \right)$$ and $$\left( {{\text{III}}} \right)$$
$$I \to {\text{ON}}\,II \to {\text{OFF}}$$
In IInd state it is used as a amplifier it is active region.

For a given circuit of ideal $$p$$-$$n$$ junction diode, which of the following is correct?
A
In forward biasing the voltage across $$R$$ is $$V$$
B
In reverse biasing the voltage across $$R$$ is $$V$$
C
In forward biasing the voltage across $$R$$ is $$2\,V$$
D
In reverse biasing the voltage across $$R$$ is $$2\,V$$
Answer :
In forward biasing the voltage across $$R$$ is $$V$$
In forward biasing, the diode conducts. For ideal junction diode, the forward resistance is zero. Therefore, entire applied voltage occurs across resistance $$R$$
While in reverse biasing, the diode does not conduct, so it has infinite resistance. Thus, voltage across $$R$$ is zero in reverse biasing.
