Module-1: Basics of Transistors and feedback concept

1. With a neat diagram and relevant waveforms explain the input and output
characteristics of BJT in CE configuration.
2. What is dc-load line? What is its significance in the operation of transistor.
(6M)
3. What happens when operating point moves in i) cutoff region ii) active
region iii) saturation region. explain it necessary diagrams. (6M)
4. What is biasing of a transistor? What is its need? (4M)
5. What is Quiescent operating point (Q point)? What are the reasons for its
instability? (4M)
6. Discuss voltage divider bias circuit for an n-p-n transistor with circuit
diagram and necessary derivations (8M)
7. Draw and explain DC load line for voltage divider bias circuit. (4M)
8. Why voltage divider circuit is called β independent bias circuit? (2M)
9. Analyse the voltage divider bias circuit for the conditions of βmin=50,
R1=39KΩ, R2=10KΩ, RC=1.2KΩ,RE=1KΩ and VCC=18V, VBE=0.7V to
find IB,IC ,VCE,VB,VC and VE. (8M)
10. A voltage divider bias circuit has Vcc = 20V, R1 = 50kΩ, R2 = 10kΩ, RC =
2.7kΩ, RE = 1.2kΩ. The silicon transistor used has VBE = 0.7V. Determine
the Q-point. The value of β = 110. Draw load line and locate the Q-point.
