QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ What is the purpose of a diode limiting circuit? Answer:To limit
amplitude of the input.
◍ What do clampers do? Answer:Add DC to AC signal.
◍ A transistor in a Common Emitter transfers an internal resistance from
a low resistance in emitter base to? Answer:High resistance in collector
base.
◍ Ie (Emitter current) = ? Answer:Ib (base current) + Ic (collector
current)
◍ When does cutoff occur in a Common Emitter? Answer:When Emitter
PN junction is reversed.
◍ A Common Emitter has a gain of how much? Answer:10
