Basic Electronics 1. Power transistors normally have higher gain that small signal transistors. T rue/False 2.

'If a linear circuit has N independent sources present, any branch voltage or current is composed of the sum of N contributions each of which is due to each of the independent sources acting individually when all others are set to zero' - is the statement of which theorem 3. What does the term Total Harmonic Distortion mean with respect to sine wave o scillators? 4. Which transistor configuration (CB,CE,CC) is used to build a transistorised v oltage follower? ans:CC 5. There are two black boxes enin resistance of 1 ohm and tance of 1 ohm. Identify the ad atached to both the black ans: by heat - one with a THevenin voltage source(10 V) and Thev other containing Norton source 10A and norton resis black box with the thevenin source? (there is no lo boxes)

6. Which model is used to analyse the transistor at high frequencies? ans: hybrid pi (II) 7. Does a zener voltage regulator need short circuit protection? ans: no 8. Who invented the first practical vaccum tube? John Ambrose Fleming

LIC 1. Who fabricated the first monolithic opamp, in which company? ANS:Robert J.Widlar, Fairchild semiconductors 2. In a op-amp inverting amplifier,which input pin acts as the virtual ground? ans:inverting input pin 3. What is the max permissible gain of a typical 741 op-amp at 1MHz? ans:1 4. can a op-amp be used as a comparator? ans:yes 5. In a schmitt trigger circuit which mode of feedback is employed(positive or n egative)? ans: positive 6. Can a typical 741 opamp be used to construct a video amplifier? justify ans: no bcoz of low bandwidth 7. Mention and two applications of log amplifiers? ans:multiplier ckts companding
