The following truth table corresponds to the logic gate [1991]

A.
NAND
B.
OR
C.

A.
the cathode
B.
the grid
C.
the glass-envelope
D.
the anode

Solution:

The amplifying action of a triode is based on
the fact that a small change in grid voltage
causes a large change in plate current. The
AC input signal which is to be amplified is
superimposed on the grid potential.

QUESTION: 12

For an electronic valve, the plate current I andplate voltage V in the space charge limited regionare related as [1992]

According to Child’s Law,

QUESTION: 13

A piece of copper and other of germanium arecooled from the room temperature to 80 K, then [1993]

A.
resistance of each will increase
B.
resistance of copper will decrease
C.
resistance of copper will increase while thatof germanium will decrease
D.
resistance of copper will decrease while thatof germanium will increase

Solution:

Copper is a conductor, so, its resistance
decreases on decreasing temperature as
thermal agitation decreases whereas
germanium is semiconductor, therefore, on
decreasing temperature resistance increases.
