A voltage tripler circuit and voltage quadrupler circuit use identical components. Then

A.	voltage regulation in both circuits will be same
B.	voltage regulation in both may or may not be same
C.	voltage regulation in quadrupler circuit will be better than in tripler circuit
D.	voltage regulation in quadrupler circuit will be poorer than in tripler circuit

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Since voltage quadrupler circuit uses more components, voltage drop will be more and voltage regulation poorer.

A Ge diode operated at a junction temperature of 27°C. For a forward current of 10 mA, V_D is found to be 0.3 V. If V_D = 0.4 V then forward current will be

A.	400 mA
B.	475 mA
C.	477 mA
D.	480 mA

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

i_D2 = (47.73) x 10 mA = 466 mA.
