16.
An LED has a rating of 2 V and 10 mA. It is used along with 6V battery. The range of series resistance is
0 to 200 Ω
200 - 400 Ω
200 Ω and above
400 Ω and above
Answer: Option
Explanation:

R = = 400Ω.

R must be at least 400Ω so that current in LED does not exceed 10 mA.

17.
The number of doped regions in PIN diode is
1
2
3
1 or 2
Answer: Option
Explanation:

A PIN diode has p and n doped regions separated by intrinsic layer.

18.
A transistor has two p-n junctions. The batteries should be connected such that
both junctions are forward biased
both junctions are reverse biased
one junction is forward biased and the other is reverse biased
none of the above
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Emitter-base junction is forward biased and base collector junction is reverse biased.

19.
A silicon (PN) junction at a temperature of 20°C has a reverse saturation current of 10 pico Ampere. The reverse saturation current at 40°C for the same bias is approximately.
30 pA
40 pA
50 pA
60 pA
Answer: Option
Explanation:

By increasing of temperature by 10°C, Io become double so by increasing temperature 20°C, Io become 4 time than initial value... and it is 40 PA.

20.
In a bipolar transistor the barrier potential
0
a total of 0.7 V
0.7 V across each depletion layer
0.35 V
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Since there are two p-n junctions, there are two depletion layers and 0.7 V across each layer.
