d) 15kΩ
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: RO=I/hoe=1/0.005m
=20kΩ.ROI= RO || RLI=20||5
=4kΩ.
Answer: c
Explanation: When a transistor is bypassed with a
capacitor, it short circuits in the small signal analysis of
transistor and the resistor too shorts. The input resistance
becomes RI=hie. The value of the input resistance is
decreased and the gain now will be increasing.

Answer: d
Explanation: As the emitter is unbypassed, the input
resistance Ri=hie+(1+hfe)Re
=2+61=63kΩ. The output resistance RO=1/hoe=1
/25MΩ=40kΩ.
Answer: d
Explanation: As the emitter is bypassed, the input
resistance Ri=hie
=1kΩ. The output resistance RO=1/hoe but the value is not
given.
So, hoe=0 and RO=1/0=∞.

Explanation: The voltage gain of a common collector
amplifier is unity. It is then used as a buffer. The CC
amplifier is also called as an emitter follower. Though there
is no amplification done, the output will be stabilised.

Answer: b
Explanation: The CE amplifier has high current and voltage
gains. The CC amplifier has unity voltage gain which cannot
be regarded as high. The common base amplifier has a
unity current gain and high voltage gain.
Answer: b
Explanation: IC=α IE +ICBO
=0.995*10mA+0.5µA=9.9505mA.
IB=IE-IC=10-9.9505=0.0495mA. β=α/(1-α)=0.995
/(1-0.995)=199
ICEO=9.9505-199*0.0495=0.1mA==100µA.

b) -150(Acos20t+Bsin10000t)
c) -1500Bsin10000t
d) -150Bsin10000t
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: AV=-hfe RLI/hie=3*150/3=-150. So,
VO=-150V(t)
But cos20t has low frequency so capacitors are open
circuited. Only, the sine component is allowed.
So, Vo =-150Bsin10000t.

Answer: a
Explanation: The CE amplifier has moderate input and
output impedances. The CC amplifier has unity voltage
gain. The common ba se amplifier has a unity current gain
and high voltage gain.
Answer: a
Explanation: (IC – ICBO)/α=IE
= (2.945-0.002)/0.98=3mA.
IE=IC+IB . So, IB=3-2.495=0.055mA=55µA.

Answer: b
Explanation: ro=ΔVCE/ΔIC
=3/0.3m=10kΩ.
Answer: c
Explanation: The ratio of change in emitter base voltage
(ΔVEB) to resulting change in emitter current (ΔIE) at
constant collector base voltage (VCB) is defined as input
resistance. This is denoted by ri.
We know, ΔVEB/ΔIE=ri
=200/5=40Ω.

c) (6.7V, 5mA)
d) (6V, 5mA)
View Answer
Answer; a
Explanation: We know, by KVL -12+(IC+IB)1K+6+VBE=0
We have IE=5.3. IC= αIE=5.24mA. From another loop,
-12+IEIK+VBE=0
We have, hoe=12-5.3m*1000=6.7V. Hence the Q point is
(6.7V, 5.3mA).
Answer: a
Explanation: The base current IB is zero when β value is
large. So, the hoe changes to VCC-RCIC. The collector
current IC is changed to (VCC-VBE)/RB from β(VCC-VBE)/(1+
β)RE+ RB.

c) (10V, 3mA)
d) (3mA, 10V)
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: We know, IE=VEE/RE=30/10kΩ=3mA
IC=α IE =IE =3mA
VCB=VCC-ICRL=25-15=10V. So, quiescent point is (10V,
3mA).
Answer: a
Explanation: Sometimes DC current gain of a bipolar
transistor is too low to directly switch the load current or
voltage, so multiple switching transistors is used. The load
is connected to ground and the transistor switches the
power to it.

Answer: c
Explanation: In low frequency region, the small capacitors
are open circuited and large capacitors are in active state.
In high frequency region, the large capacitors are short
circuited and small capacitors are active.
Answer: a
Explanation: In the mid frequency region, the whole circuit
is resistive because the large capacitors are short and small
capacitors are open circuited. The gain is constant in this
region. So, the circuit is frequency blind as the gain is
constant in this region.
