Q41
In a JFET, the relationship between ID and VGS is:
  • A Linear
  • B Square law
  • C Exponential
  • D Logarithmic
Answer: Option B
Explanation: JFET drain current varies with the square of gate-source voltage in the saturation region.
Q42
What is the main disadvantage of class C amplifiers?
  • A Low efficiency
  • B High distortion
  • C Complex circuitry
  • D High power consumption
Answer: Option B
Explanation: Class C amplifiers have high distortion due to non-linear operation, making them unsuitable for audio applications.
Q43
Which transistor configuration has 180° phase shift between input and output?
  • A Common base
  • B Common emitter
  • C Common collector
  • D All configurations
Answer: Option B
Explanation: Common emitter configuration provides 180° phase inversion between input and output signals.
Q44
In a power amplifier, thermal runaway is prevented by:
  • A Heat sink
  • B Emitter resistor
  • C Base resistor
  • D Collector resistor
Answer: Option B
Explanation: Emitter stabilization resistor provides negative feedback that helps prevent thermal runaway.
Q45
What is the typical value of base spreading resistance in transistors?
  • A 1-10 Ω
  • B 10-500 Ω
  • C 1-5 kΩ
  • D 10-50 kΩ
Answer: Option B
Explanation: Base spreading resistance typically ranges from 10-500 ohms depending on the transistor type and construction.
Q46
Which type of coupling provides best low-frequency response?
  • A RC coupling
  • B Transformer coupling
  • C Direct coupling
  • D Impedance coupling
Answer: Option C
Explanation: Direct coupling provides excellent low-frequency response as there are no capacitive elements to limit low frequencies.
Q47
In a transistor, the parameter hfe represents:
  • A Voltage gain
  • B Current gain
  • C Input impedance
  • D Output impedance
Answer: Option B
Explanation: hfe is the hybrid parameter representing small-signal current gain in common emitter configuration.
Q48

  • A 100-500 Ω
  • B 1-5 kΩ
  • C 10-50 kΩ
  • D 100-500 kΩ
Answer: Option C
Explanation: Common emitter amplifiers typically have output impedance in the range of 10kΩ to 50kΩ.
Q49
Which type of oscillator uses crystal for frequency stability?
  • A Hartley oscillator
  • B Colpitts oscillator
  • C Crystal oscillator
  • D RC phase shift oscillator
Answer: Option C
Explanation: Crystal oscillators use piezoelectric crystals to provide very stable frequency references.
Q50
In a transistor switch, storage time is caused by:
  • A Junction capacitance
  • B Minority carrier storage
  • C Base resistance
  • D Collector capacitance
Answer: Option B
Explanation: Storage time is due to the time required to remove excess minority carriers from the base region during turn-off.
