• Answer all questions
• Missing data, if any, may be assumed suitably.
• Calculator allowed

1. a. Find the static and dynamic resistance of a p-n junction germanium diode if [6]
the temperature is 27OC and IO=1μA for an applied forward bias of 0.2V. If
the temperature increase to 400 C what will be the change in the diode current.

b. A Silicon transistor with β = 100 has base-to-collector leakage current of 5 [2]

µA. If the transistor is connected in common-emitter operation, find the
collector and emitter current for base current 20 µA.
2. Draw the waveform of the output voltage VO in Figure 1, for the given input, levelling [4]
its time and magnitude. Assume diode is a silicon diode.

3. Sketch the output waveform for the circuit and input waveform shown in Figure 2 of [4]
one complete cycle. Does the voltage across the capacitor remains constant in the next
half cycle? Why? Assume the diode as ideal.

4. In a zener voltage regulator shown in Fig. 3 if Vz=10V, Rs =1kΩ, RL= 2kΩ. If the [4]
input voltage Vin varies from 22 to 40 V, find the maximum and minimum values of
Zener current.
