PART-C SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS
1 Define Multivibrator. List
out the different types of
multivibrators.
2 Distinguish between Stable
state and a Quasi stable
state in a Multivibrator.
3 List the other names for
describing the Bistable

Apply This would require the CO 10
learner to recall
multivibrators then
understand working and
apply concepts to find
expression for T, the period
of Oscillations for an
Astable multivibrator
Apply This would require the CO 10
learner to recall
multivibrators then
understand working and
apply concepts to find
expression for voltage to
time convertor
Understand This would require the CO 10
learner to recall
multivibrator and
understand Astable
multivibrator acts as voltage
to frequency convertor
CO 10
learner to recall
multivibrator and
understand hysteresis in
Schmitt trigger
Apply This would require the CO 10
learner to recall schmitt
trigger multivibrator then
understand the working
Schmitt trigger to apply
concepts to design
comporator and squaring
circuit.
