voltage regulator circuit
amplifier circuits
both voltage regulator and amplifier circuit
none of the above
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Zener diode is used only in voltage regulator circuits.


32.
A particular green LED emits light of wavelength 5490, Å, the energy bandgap of the semiconductor material used there is .. h = 6.6 x 10-34 J sec.
2.26 eV
1.98 eV
1.17 eV
0.74 eV
Answer: Option
Explanation:

From Plank equation joule

to convert it into electron volt it will be divided by 1.6 x 10-19.


33.
In a zener diode
the forward current is very high
sharp breakdown occurs at a certain reverse voltage
the ratio v-i can be negative
there are two p-n junctions
Answer: Option
Explanation:

When reverse voltage equals breakdown value it starts conducting and voltage does not increase further.


34.
In a bipolar transistor which current is largest
collector current
base current
emitter current
base current or emitter current
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Emitter current is larger, collector current is slightly less than emitter current and base current is very small.


35.

AB
BC
CD
BD
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Small signal amplifier operation is in constant current region of characteristics.
