Ans A regulated power supply is used to ensure that the output remains constant even if the Need : 2M

Ans Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV): Each

: definition :
The maximum value of reverse voltage (for the diode in a rectifier) occurring at the peak 1M
of the negative cycle of the input cycle is called Peak Inverse Voltage.

It is the ratio of dc power delivered to the load and the ac rating of the transformer
secondary.

Ripple factor:

dc component is called Ripple Factor. OR The ratio of r.m.s. value of a.c. component to

 If the external voltage applied on the silicon diode is less than 0.7 volts, the silicon
diode allows only a small negligible electric current.
 When the external voltage applied on the silicon diode reaches 0.7 volts, the p-n
junction diode starts allowing large electric current through it.
 At this point, a small increase in voltage increases the electric current rapidly.
 The forward voltage at which the silicon diode starts allowing large electric current
is called cut-in voltage.
 The cut-in voltage for silicon diode is approximately 0.7 volts.
Reverse Bias:
 Due to thermal energy in crystal minority carriers are produced.
 These minority carriers are the electrons and holes pushed towards P-N junction
by the negative terminal and positive terminal, respectively.
 Due to the movement of minority carriers, a very little current flows, which is in
nano Ampere range (for silicon). This current is called as reverse saturation
current.
 When the reverse voltage is increased beyond the limit and the reverse current
increases drastically is called as reverse breakdown voltage.
 Diode breakdown occurs by two mechanisms: Avalanche breakdown and Zener
breakdown.

Working-
2M

In fig. both VGS (VGG)& VDS (VDD) have been set at positive with respect to the source. The
positive potential at the gate will attract the electrons from the P substrate &
accumulated in the region near to the surface of Sio 2 layer. The Sio2 layer & its insulating
qualities will prevent the negative carrier (i.e. electron) from being absorbed at the gate.

As VGS increase by increasing VGG the concentration of electron near the Sio2
surface increases & there is formation of channel & the current starts following through
the circuit for further applied voltage.

For VGS = OV & negative value of VGS, the absence of n channel will result zero current.

As positive value of VGS, less than VGSth drain current is zero. If VGS > VGSth current
starts increasing.

b) Describe strain gauge with labelled diagram. 4M

other type of
strain gauge
can be
explain.

 The foil type strain gauges are very common in which a resistive foil is mounted on
a backing material. Metal foil gauges use similar materials to wire strain gauges.

 The sensing elements of foil gauges are formed from sheets less than 0.005 mm
thick by photo etching processes, which allows greater flexibility with regards to
shape.

 The resistance of the foil changes as the material to which the gauge is attached
undergoes tension or compression due to change in its length and diameter. This
change in resistance is proportional to the applied strain. As this change in
resistance is very small in magnitude so its effect can be only sensed by a
Wheatstone bridge.

 When strain is applied to the strain gauge, the resistance of the strain gauge
sensor changes, the Wheatstone bridge becomes unbalanced, a current flows
through the voltmeter. Since the net change in the resistance is proportional to
the applied strain, therefore, resultant current flow through the voltmeter is
proportional to the applied strain. So, the voltmeter can be calibrated in terms of
strain or force.

c) With the help of circuit diagram describe conversion of VG. Source to current source. 4M

and current to voltage source.

Figure A represents a practical voltage source in series with the internal resistance r while
figure B represents a practical current source with parallel internal resistance r

Therefore, for any practical voltage source, if the ideal voltage be V and internal
resistance be r, the voltage source can be replaced by a current source I (i.e. ) with the
internal resistance(r) in parallel with the current source as shown.

Ans Circuit
: diagram:2M

The signal is fed at the input terminal and output is taken from collector and emitter end
of supply. The total instantaneous output voltage Vce is given by
Description:1
Vce=Vcc-Ic Rc -----(1) M
When the signal voltage increases in the positive half cycle, the base current also
increases.

The result is that collector current and hence voltage drop IcRc increases.

As Vcc is constant, therefore output voltage Vce decreases.

As the signal voltage is increasing in the positive half cycle, the output voltage is
increasing in the negative sense i.e. output is 180 degree out of phase with input as
shown below.

Therefore in a CE amplifier the positive half cycle of the signal appears as amplified
negative half cycle in the output and vice versa.

Ans Characteristi
: cs-2M

Working-2M

In common base configuration, emitter is the input terminal, collector is the output
terminal and base terminal is connected as a common terminal for both input and output.

The base-emitter junction is forward biased and collector-base junction is reverse biased.

Keeping emitter current constant, increase Vcb from zero onward, therefore collector
current will be approximately constant as shown.

With the increase in emitter current, collector current is also increased as shown above.

Depending on the variation of Vcb, ic also varies, based on this the curve is divided into
three region i.e. saturation, active and cut off region.

Saturation region: In this region Vcb is negative for NPN transistor.

A small change in Vcb result in a large value of current

Active region: In this region, the collector current is constant and is equal to the emitter
current.

Cut off region: In this region, a small collector current flows called leakage current when
emitter current is zero.

holes from p-side are pushed towards the junction.

 When free electrons reach the junction, some of the free electrons recombine
with the holes in the positive ions. In the similar way, holes from p-side recombine
with electrons in the depletion region.
 Some free electrons from n-type semiconductor cross the p-n junction and
recombines with holes in p-type semiconductor. In the similar way, holes from p-
type semiconductor cross the p-n junction and recombines with free electrons in
the n-type semiconductor.
 Thus, recombination takes place in depletion region as well as in p-type and n-type
semiconductor.
 The free electrons in the conduction band releases energy in the form of light
before they recombine with holes in the valence band.
 In silicon and germanium diodes, most of the energy is released in the form of
heat and emitted light is too small.
 However, in materials like gallium arsenide and gallium phosphide the emitted
photons have sufficient energy to produce intense visible light.

 When a voltage is applied between the drain and source with a DC supply (VDD),
the electrons flows from source to drain through narrow channel existing between
the depletion regions.

 This constitutes drain current, ID.

 The value of drain current is maximum when the external voltage applied between
gate and source 0V.

 When the gate to source voltage (applied by VGG) becomes negative,, the reverse
bias voltage across gate source junction is increased.

 The depletion region is widened. This reduces the width of the channel and thus
controls the flow of current.

 The gate source voltage reaches a point where the channel gets completely
blocked and the drain current becomes zero is called pinch- off voltage.
