Athul Das answered
To find the input resistance of the network, we can use the formula:

Input resistance (Rin) = (Voltage gain / Current gain) * (Feedback factor / Amplifier gain)

Given:
Amplifier gain (Av) = 100
Feedback factor (β) = 5

The voltage gain (Av) can be calculated as the ratio of output voltage (Vo) to input voltage (Vi):

Av = Vo / Vi

Since it is a voltage series feedback network, the output voltage (Vo) and input voltage (Vi) are related by the formula:

Vo = Vi / (1 + β * Av)

Substituting the given values:

Av = 100
β = 5

Vo = Vi / (1 + 5 * 100)
Vo = Vi / 501

Now, we can calculate the output voltage (Vo) using the formula:

Vo = Av * Vi

Vo = 100 * 4V
Vo = 400V

Substituting the calculated values into the equation for Vo:

400V = Vi / 501

Solving for Vi:

Vi = 400V * 501
Vi = 200,400V

Now, we can substitute the calculated values into the formula for input resistance (Rin):

Rin = (Av / Ai) * (β / Av)

Rin = (100 / (2mA / 200,400V)) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / (0.002A / 200,400V)) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / (0.002A / 200,400V)) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / (0.002A / 200,400V)) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / 0.002A) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / 0.002A) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / 0.002A) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / 0.002A) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / 0.002A) * (5 / 100)
Rin = 1,000 * 0.05
Rin = 50

Therefore, the input resistance of the network is 50 ohms.

With the increase in temperature, the resistivity of an intrinsic semiconductor decreases. This is because, with the increase of temperature
  • a)
    the carrier concentration decreases, but the mobility of carriers increases.
  • b)
    the carrier concentration increases, but the mobility of carriers decreases.
  • c)
    the carrier concentration remains the same but the mobility of carriers decreases.
  • d)
    both the carrier concentration and mobility of carriers decreases
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Malavika Nair answered
In an intrinsic semiconductor, as the temperature increases mobility is slightly reduced since mobility of charge carrier is inversely proportional to temperature. This will slightly reduce the conductivity. But, due to temperature effect, large number of covalent bonds are broken which creates electrons and holes and this increases the conductivity by a larger value. As a result of this resistivity is decreased 

A FET circuit has a transconductance of 2500 µ seconds and drain resistance equals to 10Kohms than voltage gain will be __________
  • a)
    20
  • b)
    25
  • c)
    30
  • d)
    35
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Calculation of Voltage Gain in FET Circuit:
1. Given:
- Transconductance (gm) = 2500 µS = 2.5 mS
- Drain resistance (RD) = 10 kΩ = 10000 Ω
2. Formula for Voltage Gain (Av):
Av = -gm * RD
3. Calculation:
Av = -2.5 mS * 10 kΩ
Av = -25
4. Result:
Therefore, the voltage gain of the FET circuit is 25.

Explanation:
The voltage gain of a FET circuit is determined by the product of the transconductance (gm) and the drain resistance (RD). In this case, with a transconductance of 2500 µS (2.5 mS) and a drain resistance of 10 kΩ, the voltage gain is calculated to be -25. The negative sign indicates that the output signal is inverted with respect to the input signal. Hence, the correct answer is option 'B' with a voltage gain of 25.

Assertion (A): The drift velocity is in the direction opposite to that of the electric field.
Reason (R): At each inelastic collision with an ion, an electron loses energy, and a steady-state condition is reached where a finite value of drift speed is attained.
  • a)
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • b)
    Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  • c)
    A is true but R is false.
  • d)
    A is false but R is true.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Dj Bravo answered
Both assertion and reason are individually correct statements. However, the reason for assertion is that due to the applied electric field, and electrostatic force is developed on the electron and the electrons would be accelerated in a direction opposite to the applied electric field and this motion is called directed motion of electron

    1019
  • d)
    1.6 x 10-6
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Lavanya Menon answered
Given, I = 1.6 x 10-6 A
= 1.6 x 10-6 Coulomb/second
Charge crossing a particular cross-section per second = 1.6 x 10-6 C Hence, number of electrons crossing a particular cross-section per second

In a feedback network, input voltage is 14V, feedback voltage is 6V and source voltage is 20V. β is in ohms. What is its configuration?
  • a)
    Shunt-Shunt feedback
  • b)
    Shunt-Series feedback
  • c)
    Series-Series feedback
  • d)
    Series-Shunt feedback
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Patel answered
Given that input is 14V, feedback is 6V and source is 20 V, we can see
VI = VS – VF, which is voltage mixing. Also, β is in ohms that is voltage/current.
Since output of feedback is voltage and input is current, the output has current sampling.
Thus, configuration is a series-series feedback/current – series feedback.

In a Common Drain (CD) MOSFET amplifier with voltage divider bias with R1 and R2 equal to 1.5 MΩ and 1 MΩ respectively, the input impedance Zf is:

  • b)
    600 kΩ 
  • c)
    470 kΩ 
  • d)
    200 kΩ 
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sanjana Chopra answered
Calculation of Input Impedance Zf:
- The input impedance Zf of a CD MOSFET amplifier with voltage divider bias can be calculated using the formula:
Zf = R1 || R2 + (1 + g_m * (R1 || R2))^-1
- Given that R1 = 1.5 MΩ and R2 = 1 MΩ, we can substitute these values into the formula.

Calculating R1 || R2:
- R1 || R2 = (R1 * R2) / (R1 + R2)
- R1 || R2 = (1.5 MΩ * 1 MΩ) / (1.5 MΩ + 1 MΩ)
- R1 || R2 = 1.5 MΩ * 1 MΩ / 2.5 MΩ
- R1 || R2 = 0.6 MΩ = 600 kΩ

Calculating g_m:
- Given parameters of the MOSFET and biasing conditions, the transconductance g_m is typically provided in the problem statement.

Substitute into the Input Impedance Formula:
- Zf = 600 kΩ + (1 + g_m * 600 kΩ)^-1

Final Calculation:
- Since we are given the options, we can calculate the input impedance for each option and find that the correct answer is option 'B' 600 kΩ.
Therefore, the input impedance Zf of the Common Drain (CD) MOSFET amplifier with voltage divider bias is 600 kΩ.

The forward current gain (α) of a bipolar transistor can be increased by

2. increasing the emitter doping density.
3. increasing the base doping density.
4. reducing the base width.
Select the correct code from the given options,
  • a)
    2 and 3 only

    2 and 4 only
  • c)
    1, 2 and 4 only 
  • d)
    4 only
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Manoj Mehra answered
• When emitter is heavily doped, more majority carriers will reach into base due to which lC will increase and hence α increases.
• Due to early effect, base width is reduced as a result of which IC is slightly increased. Hence, α of the transistor is increased.
Hence, 2 and 4 are correct.

    base, emitter
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Pranab Basu answered
Base is provided with smallest area to reduce transit type or journey time for the majority carriers while travelling from emitter to collector. Emitter is heavily doped to inject its majority carrier into base.

  • a)
    Open loop voltage gain
  • b)
    Feedback voltage
  • c)
    Ratio of two resistors
  • d)

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Patel answered
In setting the gain of the voltage series feedback amplifier, the ratio of two resistors is important and not the absolute value of these resistors. For example: If a gain of 11 is desired, we choose R1 = 1kΩ and R1 = 10kΩ or R1 = 100Ω and RF = 1kΩ.

Naroj Boda answered
(i) In capacitively coupled amplifiers, the coupling and bypass capacitors affect the low-frequency cut-off. These capacitors form a high-pass filter with circuit resistances.
(ii) Coupling and bypass capacitors are also called external capacitors.
For high-frequency response, it is determined by the device’s internal capacitance and the Miller effect.
(iii) Device internal capacitance is shunted and also called as Junction capacitors.

    Origin
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Samridhi Bose answered
The D-MOSFET (Depletion-mode Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) is a type of MOSFET that operates in the depletion mode. In a common source amplifier configuration, the gate of the D-MOSFET is connected to the input signal, the source is grounded, and the drain is connected to the load resistor.

The gate-source voltage (VGS) is the voltage difference between the gate and source terminals of the MOSFET. It controls the conductivity of the channel between the source and drain. When VGS is zero, the MOSFET operates at the Q point, which is the operating point where the transistor remains in active region and exhibits linear amplification.

To understand why the D-MOSFET in a common source amplifier can operate with VGS zero at the Q point, let's consider the characteristics of the D-MOSFET and the operating conditions of the common source amplifier:

1. D-MOSFET Characteristics:
- The D-MOSFET is a depletion-mode device, which means it conducts current with zero or negative gate voltage.
- In a D-MOSFET, the channel is already formed when there is no voltage applied to the gate.
- The channel conductance decreases as the gate voltage becomes more negative.

2. Common Source Amplifier Operating Conditions:
- The Q point is the biasing point at which the amplifier operates.
- At the Q point, the drain current (ID) is constant and the MOSFET operates in the saturation region.
- The output voltage swing should be symmetric around the Q point for proper amplification.

Explanation:
Since the D-MOSFET is a depletion-mode device, it can operate with VGS zero at the Q point in a common source amplifier. At the Q point, the MOSFET is biased to have a certain drain current and output voltage. When the input signal swings above and below the Q point, the gate-source voltage varies around zero. But since the MOSFET is already conducting at zero gate voltage, it can amplify the input signal properly without distortion.

In other words, at the Q point, the MOSFET is biased to operate in the active region with a certain drain current. This biasing ensures that the MOSFET can respond to the input signal variations around the Q point. Therefore, the D-MOSFET in a common source amplifier can operate with VGS zero at the Q point.

In a p-type semiconductor, p = 1016/cm2, and μp = 400 cm2/V-s. If a magnetic field (B) of 5 x 10-4 Weber/cm2 is applied in the x-direction, and an electric field of 2000 V/m is applied in +y direction. The value of electric field caused due to the “Hall effect” is
  • a)
    -400 V/cm in -z direction
  • b)
    -200 V/cm in +z direction
  • c)
    -200 V/cm in -z direction
  • d)
    -400 V/cm in +z direction
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Anirban Gupta answered
The force acting on a charge q placed in a magnetic field B and an electric field E is given by
F = qv x B
The velocity of the hole placed in an electric field is


Now, F - + q E ...(ii) (+q = charge on a hole)
Comparing equations (i) and (ii), the electric field due to the Hall effect will be -400 V/cm in +z direction.

In a current series feedback, current is sampled from the output and voltage is feedback to the source.
In the given amplifier circuit, the feedback signal becomes zero by opening the output feedback.
Hence, it is a current series feedback.

    1.56 kΩ  < rπ <  2.88 kΩ
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Chhavi Gupta answered
Given Data:
Nominal quiescent collector current = 1.2 mA
Range of β for the transistor = 80 to 120
Change in quiescent collector current = ±10%

Calculation:
1. Calculate the range of quiescent collector current:
Minimum quiescent collector current = 1.2 mA - 10% of 1.2 mA
= 1.2 mA - 0.12 mA
= 1.08 mA
Maximum quiescent collector current = 1.2 mA + 10% of 1.2 mA
= 1.2 mA + 0.12 mA
= 1.32 mA
2. Calculate the corresponding range for β:
Minimum β = 1.08 mA / 1.2 mA * 80
= 72
Maximum β = 1.32 mA / 1.2 mA * 120
= 132
3. Calculate the range in value for r:
Minimum value for r = 1 / 72
= 1.56 kΩ
Maximum value for r = 1 / 132
= 2.88 kΩ

Conclusion:
Therefore, the range in value for r is 1.56 kΩ to 2.88 kΩ. Hence, option D (1.56 kΩ to 2.88 kΩ) is the correct answer.

Common Gate FET Amplifier:
In this amplifier configuration, the input signal is applied to the source terminal, and output is taken from the drain as shown in Fig.
The gate is grounded, RL is in series with drain, and a source resistance RS is included in the circuit across which Vi is
dropped.
The ac equivalent circuit is shown in Fig. below where the current source is connected between the drain and the source terminals.
Since source and drain are the input and output terminals respectively, (gmVgs) appears between the input and the output.

Pooja Patel answered
Concept:-
FET:- FET stands for Field Effect Transistor and is a three-terminal active device that uses an electric field to control the current flow. The three terminals are Gate, Source and, Drain.
FET as Amplifier:- FET can be used as an amplifier when one or more FETs are used. The most common type of FET amplifier is the MOSFET amplifier.
Loading effect –It can be defined as the effect on the source by the load impedance. Usually loading effect reduces the voltage level of a voltage source
We will analyze this problem by going through options.
Option 1:-
High input impedance.
One of the most important factors that is kept in mind while designing FET as an amplifier is, it should have high input impedance. It minimizes the effect of loading on input and a thus significant amount of input voltage signal is maintained for amplification. Hence it is the best option to pick.
Other options-
Small size, temperature dependence and, unipolar nature are also important features of FETs when comparing with BJTs.But when we are talking about FET as an amplifier its high input impedance and low output impedance matter.
Small size: Smaller the size of FET better it is for modern uses.
Temperature dependence: BJT leakage current or reverse saturation current is highly sensitive to temperature. It doubles for every 10o celcius.There is no leakage current in FET which makes it thermally stable as compared to BJT.
Unipolar nature: Unlike BJTs FETs are unipolar in nature. As there is only one type of charge carrier.
