Unit 19: Electronic Devices — Important Questions & Answers

The solids which have the negative temperature coefficient of resistance are:
  • A. insulators only
  • B. semiconductors only
  • C. insulators and semiconductors
  • D. metals
Answer: C. insulators and semiconductors
Both insulators and semiconductors exhibit a decrease in resistance (or an increase in conductivity) with an increase in temperature, resulting in a negative temperature coefficient of resistance.
For the logic circuit shown, the truth table is:
  • A. A 0 0 1 1; B 0 1 0 1; Y 1 1 1 0
  • B. A 0 0 1 1; B 0 1 0 1; Y 0 1 1 1
  • C. A 0 0 1 1; B 0 1 0 1; Y 1 0 0 0
  • D. A 0 0 1 1; B 0 1 0 1; Y 0 0 0 1
Answer: A. A 0 0 1 1; B 0 1 0 1; Y 1 1 1 0
The circuit consists of two NOT gates feeding into a NOR gate. Y = NOT(NOT A OR NOT B) = A AND B is not correct. The gates are NOT gates followed by a NOR gate. Y = NOT(NOT A OR NOT B) which is equivalent to A AND B? No, Y = NOT(NOT(A) OR NOT(B)) = A AND B. Wait, looking at symbol, it is a NOR gate (OR with circle). Output Y = NOT(NOT A OR NOT B) = A AND B? No, De Morgan's: NOT(NOT A OR NOT B) = A AND B. Actually, the NOR gate with inverted inputs is an AND gate.
The output (Y) of the given logic implementation is similar to the output of an/a _______gate.
  • A. AND
  • B. NAND
  • C. OR
  • D. NOR
Answer: D. NOR
Determined by logic gate truth table reduction.
A full wave rectifier circuit with diodes (D1) and (D2) is shown in the figure. If input supply voltage Vin = 220sin(100πt) volt, then at t = 15 m sec
  • A. D1 is forward biased, D2 is reverse biased
  • B. D1 is reverse biased, D2 is forward biased
  • C. D1 and D2 both are forward biased
  • D. D1 and D2 both are reverse biased
Answer: B. D1 is reverse biased, D2 is forward biased
At t = 15ms, phase = 100π * 0.015 = 1.5π radians = 270 degrees. sin(270) = -1. For the standard configuration, this negative peak biases D2 forward.
The increase in the width of the depletion region in a p-n junction diode is due to :
  • A. both forward bias and reverse bias
  • B. increase in forward current
  • C. forward bias only
  • D. reverse bias only
Answer: D. reverse bias only
In reverse bias, the depletion region widens because majority carriers are pulled away from the junction.
