Q.3 ".

ircle the most accurate answer for each of the following questions! # thyristor has! $a% $b% $c% $d% "". two pn &unction, three pn &unctions, four pn &unctions, only two terminals.

'nce it is conducting, a ()layer diode can be turned off by! $a% $b% $c% $d% reducing the current below a certain value, disconnecting the anode voltage, answers $a% and $b%, neither answer $a% nor $b%.

""".

#n * + can be turned off by! $a% $b% $c% $d% $e% forced commutation, a negative pulse on the gate, anode current interruption, answers $a%, $b%, and $c%, answers $a% and $c%.

",.

-he specified value of holding current for an * + means that! $a% $b% $c% $d% the device will turn on when the anode current e.ceeds this value, the device will turn off when the anode current falls below this value, the device may be damaged if the anode current e.ceeds this value, the gate current must equal or e.ceed this value to turn the device on.

,.

-he diac is! $a% $b% $c% $d% a thyristor, a bilateral, two)terminal device, li/e two parallel ()layer diodes in reverse directions, answers $a%, $b%, and $c%.

Q.( ".

ircle the most accurate answer for each of the following questions! -he triac is! $a% $b% $c% $d% "". li/e a bidirectional * +, a four)terminal device, not a thyristor, answers $a% and $b%.

-he * * differs from the * + because! $a% $b% $c% $d% it does not have a gate terminal, its holding current is less, it can handle much higher currents, it has two gate terminals.

""".

-he * * can be turned on by! $a% $b% $c% $d% an anode voltage that e.ceeds forward)brea/over voltage, a positive pulse on the cathode gate, a negative pulse on the anode gate, either $b% or $c%.

",.

-he * * can be turned off by! $a% a negative pulse on the cathode gate and a positive pulse on the anode gate, $b% reducing the anode current to below the holding value, $c% answers $a% and $b%, $d% a positive pulse on the cathode gate and a negative pulse on the anode gate.

,.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the 01-2! $a% $b% $c% $d% intrinsic standoff ratio, negative resistance, pea/)point voltage, bilateral conduction.

Q.3 ".

ircle the most accurate answer for each of the following questions! #n amplifier that operates in the linear region at all times is! $a% $b% $c% $d% "". lass #, lass #4, lass 4, lass .

# certain class # power amplifier delivers 3 W to a load with an input signal power of 155 mW. -he power gain is! $a% $b% $c% $d% 155, 35, 235, 3.

""".

-he pea/ current a class # power amplifier can deliver to a load depends on the! $a% $b% $c% $d% ma.imum rating of the power supply, quiescent current, current in the bias resistors, si6e of the heat sin/.

",.

-he transistors in a class 4 amplifier are biased! $a% $b% $c% $d% into cutoff, in saturation, at midpoint of the load line, right at cutoff.

,.

-he 70- is! $a% $b% $c% $d% much li/e the 01-, not a thyristor, triggered on and off by the gate)to)anode voltage, not a four)layer device.
