4 questions with worked solutions.
Q1. The typical operating current for a lightemitting diode is approximately:
Answer: 5 to \( 20 m A \)
A standard light-emitting diode is normally operated at a modest current so it emits light without being damaged. The common range is about 5 to 20 mA, which matches typical indicator LED specifications.
Q2. In a semiconductor, which of the following statement is correct?
Answer: \( p-n \) junction is electrically neutral
In a p-n junction, the uncovered ionized donors and acceptors in the depletion region create equal and opposite charges, so the junction as a whole is electrically neutral. The other options are incorrect because Si is not superconducting at 0 K, acceptor levels are near the valence band, and donor atoms contribute electrons, not holes.
Answer: 6.492 m \( A \)
In a common-emitter transistor, current gain is typically \(\beta = I_C/I_B\). With \(\beta = 60\), the base current is \(I_B = I_C/60\), and since \(I_E = I_C + I_B\), the collector current is slightly less than the emitter current. That gives \(I_C = 6.492\,\text{mA}\).
Q4. If the input frequency of a full wave rectifier is \( 50 H z \) ac. Its output frequency is
Answer: \( 100 H z \) pulsating do
In a full-wave rectifier, both the positive and negative half-cycles are converted into positive output pulses. That doubles the ripple frequency, so a 50 Hz input becomes 100 Hz at the output.
