51.

In a transistor, IB=2 mA and Ic=3 mA. The value of β is _____________(a) 1.5(b) 5.8(c) 9.6(d) 3.5The question was asked in an interview.The query is from Solid-State Devices in portion Introduction to Solid-State Devices of Electric Drives

Answer»

The correct CHOICE is (a) 1.5

To EXPLAIN I would say: The value of β is Ic÷IB. The value of IB and Ic are 2 mA, 3 mA. The value of β is Ic÷IB=3÷2=1.5.

52.

Which one of the following is correct?(a) IE=IB+Ic(b) IE=IB-Ic(c) IE=Ic(d) IE=IBI have been asked this question at a job interview.My doubt stems from Solid-State Devices in portion Introduction to Solid-State Devices of Electric Drives

Answer»

Right ANSWER is (a) IE=IB+Ic

The best I can explain: The KCL equation that holds correct is IE=IB+Ic. At any point emitter CURRENT is the SUM of the BASE current and collector current.

53.

Calculate the value of β for α=.8.(a) 2(b) 8(c) 3(d) 4The question was asked in an online quiz.I would like to ask this question from Solid-State Devices in chapter Introduction to Solid-State Devices of Electric Drives

Answer»

Right option is (d) 4

The EXPLANATION is: The RELATIONSHIP between β and ∝ is β=∝/(1-∝)=.8÷.2=4. The current GAIN is the ratio of the COLLECTOR current and base current. The value of β is Ic÷IB.

54.

A Transistor is a current operated device.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me during an internship interview.My question is from Solid-State Devices in division Introduction to Solid-State Devices of Electric Drives

Answer» CORRECT OPTION is (a) True

The best EXPLANATION: Transistor is a current OPERATED device. The value of COLLECTOR current is α times of the emitter current. It is a current controlled device.
55.

Choose the correct relationship between β and ∝.(a) β=∝/(1-∝)(b) β=1/(1+∝)(c) β=1/(1-∝)(d) β=1/(∝)This question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.The query is from Solid-State Devices in chapter Introduction to Solid-State Devices of Electric Drives

Answer» RIGHT option is (a) β=∝/(1-∝)

To ELABORATE: The relationship between β and ∝ is β=∝/(1-∝). The CURRENT gain is the RATIO of the collector current and base current. The value of β is Ic÷IB.
56.

In a transistor, Ic=47 mA and IE=53 mA. The value of β is _____________(a) 8.48(b) 7.83(c) 9.26(d) 3.15This question was addressed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.The doubt is from Solid-State Devices topic in chapter Introduction to Solid-State Devices of Electric Drives

Answer» CORRECT OPTION is (B) 7.83

For EXPLANATION: The VALUE of β is Ic÷IB. The value of IB=IE-Ic=53-47=6 mA. The value of β is Ic÷IB=47÷6=7.83.
57.

Calculate the value of ∝ using the data: Ic=18 mA, IE=17 mA.(a) 1.05(b) 1.47(c) 1.89(d) 2.55This question was addressed to me during an interview for a job.This interesting question is from Solid-State Devices topic in section Introduction to Solid-State Devices of Electric Drives

Answer» RIGHT answer is (a) 1.05

The EXPLANATION: The VALUE of ∝ is Ic÷IE. The current GAIN is the ratio of the COLLECTOR current and base current. ∝=Ic÷IE=18÷17=1.05.
58.

Calculate the current gain using the data: Ic=25 mA, IB=10 mA.(a) 3.5(b) 2.5(c) 1.4(d) 7.8I had been asked this question during an online interview.This interesting question is from Solid-State Devices in portion Introduction to Solid-State Devices of Electric Drives

Answer»

Right answer is (b) 2.5

Best explanation: The current gain is REPRESENTED as β in ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS. The current gain is the ratio of the collector current and BASE current. β=Ic÷IB=25÷10=2.5.

59.

Calculate the collector current using the data: IE=14 mA, IB=7 mA.(a) 7 mA(b) 8 mA(c) 9 mA(d) 10 mAThis question was posed to me during an online exam.My query is from Solid-State Devices topic in chapter Introduction to Solid-State Devices of Electric Drives

Answer» CORRECT OPTION is (a) 7 mA

Easiest EXPLANATION: The COLLECTOR current in the transistor is IE-IB=14-7=7 mA. The KCL equation IE=IB+Ic is always in every configuration of the transistor.
60.

Who is larger in size?(a) Base(b) Collector(c) Emitter(d) P-N JunctionThe question was asked in my homework.My question is taken from Solid-State Devices topic in chapter Introduction to Solid-State Devices of Electric Drives

Answer» CORRECT choice is (a) Base

The BEST explanation: Collector is LARGER in size because it receives the electrons from the base region. If it is not bigger in sizer there will be crowding of electrons which causes high POWER dissipation.
61.

The base of a transistor is lightly doped.(a) True(b) FalseI got this question during an online interview.My query is from Solid-State Devices topic in portion Introduction to Solid-State Devices of Electric Drives

Answer»

Right answer is (a) True

Explanation: The BASE of a transistor is lightly doped because it CARRIES the ELECTRONS from the emitter and passed it to the collector region. There should be LESS RECOMBINATION in the base region.
