Negative resistance is incorporated in oscillator for____________
-
Sustained oscillation
-
Damped oscillation
-
Biasing the oscillator
-
Increasing amplitude of oscillation
Correct Answer
A. Sustained oscillationExplanation
Negative resistance is incorporated in an oscillator for sustained oscillation. Negative resistance is a property where the current decreases as the voltage increases. In an oscillator, negative resistance compensates for the energy losses in the circuit, allowing the oscillations to be sustained over time. This ensures that the oscillator continues to produce a stable and continuous output signal.Rate this question:

Which of the following correctly determines the relation between α and β?
-
β=α/(1-α)
-
α=β/(1/α)
-
β=α/(1-β)
-
None of the mentioned
Correct Answer
A. β=α/(1-α)Explanation
The given equation β=α/(1-α) correctly determines the relation between α and β. This equation shows that β is equal to α divided by (1-α). This implies that the value of β is dependent on the value of α, and as α increases, β also increases. Conversely, as α decreases, β also decreases. Therefore, this equation accurately represents the relationship between α and β.Rate this question:

Considering the resistance of the emitter, collector, and base to be Re, Rc, and Rb respectively, which of the following are the correct statements?
-
Re > Rb
-
Rc > Rb > Re
-
Rb > Rc > Re
-
None of the mentioned
Correct Answer
A. Rb > Rc > ReExplanation
The correct answer is Rb > Rc > Re. This means that the resistance of the base (Rb) is greater than the resistance of the collector (Rc), and the resistance of the collector is greater than the resistance of the emitter (Re). This is because in a transistor, the base-emitter junction is forward biased, allowing current to flow more easily through the base compared to the collector. Therefore, the base has a lower resistance compared to the collector, and the collector has a lower resistance compared to the emitter.Rate this question:

What is one disadvantage of an S-R flip-flop?
-
It has no enable input.
-
It has an invalid state.
-
It has no clock input.
-
It has only a single output.
Correct Answer
A. It has an invalid state.Explanation
The disadvantage of an S-R flip-flop is that it has an invalid state. This means that there is a possibility of both the S and R inputs being set to 1 simultaneously, which can result in unpredictable behavior and an undefined output. This can lead to errors and instability in the circuit, making the S-R flip-flop less reliable compared to other flip-flop types.Rate this question:

How many flip-flops are required to make a MOD-32 binary counter?
-
3
-
45
-
5
-
6
Correct Answer
A. 5Explanation
To make a MOD-32 binary counter, we need to have 5 flip-flops. Each flip-flop represents one bit of the binary counter. Since MOD-32 means the counter will cycle through 32 different states before repeating, we need 5 bits to represent all the possible states (2^5 = 32). Therefore, 5 flip-flops are required for a MOD-32 binary counter.Rate this question:

Convert the binary number 1001.00102 to decimal.
-
90.125
-
9.125
-
125
-
12.5
Correct Answer
A. 9.125Explanation
To convert a binary number to decimal, we need to multiply each digit of the binary number by the corresponding power of 2 and sum them up. In this case, we have 1001.0010 as the binary number. The leftmost digit is 1, so we multiply it by 2^3 (8). The next digit is 0, so we skip it. The next digit is also 0, so we skip it. The next digit is 1, so we multiply it by 2^0 (1). The fractional part starts after the decimal point. The next digit is 0, so we skip it. The next digit is 0, so we skip it. The next digit is 1, so we multiply it by 2^-3 (0.125). Adding up all these values, we get 8 + 1 + 0.125 = 9.125. Therefore, the correct answer is 9.125.Rate this question:

Computers operate on data internally in a format.
-
Tri-state
-
Universal
-
Parallel
-
Serial
Correct Answer
A. ParallelExplanation
Computers operate on data internally in a parallel format. This means that multiple bits of data are processed simultaneously, allowing for faster and more efficient operations. In parallel processing, each bit of data is processed independently and simultaneously by separate processing units. This is in contrast to serial processing, where bits are processed one after another. The use of parallel processing is common in modern computers and allows for tasks to be completed quickly by dividing the workload among multiple processing units.Rate this question:

Another name for a unity gain amplifier is ____________________
-
Difference amplifier
-
Comparator
-
Single ended
-
Voltage follower
Correct Answer
A. Voltage followerExplanation
A unity gain amplifier is a type of amplifier that has a gain of 1, meaning it does not amplify the input signal. Instead, it produces an output signal that is identical in voltage to the input signal. This type of amplifier is commonly referred to as a voltage follower because it follows the input voltage, providing a high input impedance and low output impedance. Therefore, the correct answer is voltage follower.Rate this question:

When a capacitor is used in place of a resistor in an op-amp network, its placement determines ________________________
-
Open- or closed-loop gain
-
Integration or differentiation
-
Saturation or cut-off
-
Addition or subtraction
Correct Answer
A. Integration or differentiationExplanation
When a capacitor is used in place of a resistor in an op-amp network, its placement determines whether the circuit will perform integration or differentiation. The placement of the capacitor in the circuit will determine the feedback path and the time constant of the circuit, which in turn determines whether the circuit will integrate or differentiate the input signal. The integration circuit will output the integral of the input signal, while the differentiation circuit will output the derivative of the input signal.Rate this question:

-
Comparator
-
None of the mentioned
Correct Answer
A. Schmitt triggerExplanation
A Schmitt trigger is a circuit that converts irregularly shaped waveforms to regular shaped waveforms. It is a type of comparator that uses positive feedback to create hysteresis, which allows it to produce a clean and stable output waveform even when the input signal is noisy or distorted.
