Determine the following:
(i)
peak primary voltage, Vp(pri)
(ii)
Unfiltered peak full-wave rectified voltage, Vp(sec)
(iii)
peak-to-peak ripple voltage, Vr(pp) at the output
Answer:
The transformer turns ratio is n = 0.1. The peak primary voltage is
Vp(pri) = 1.414Vrms = 1.414(120 V) = 170 V
The peak secondary voltage is
Vp(sec) = nVp(pri) = 0.1(170 V) = 17.0 V
The unfiltered peak full-wave rectified voltage is
Vp(rect) = Vp(sec) - 1.4 V = 17.0 V - 1.4 V = 15.6 V
The frequency of a full-wave rectified voltage is 120 Hz. The

Q4b

Determine the Q-point for the circuit in Figure and draw the dc load 7
line. Find the maximum peak value of base current for linear
operation. Assume dc = 200.
Answer:
The Q-point is defined by the values of IC and VCE.

THE DC
OPERATING
POINT

The Q-point is at IC =39.6 mA and at VCE= 6.93 V.

Since IC(cutoff )= 0, collector current can occur and still maintain
linear operation of the transistor

The dc load line is graphically illustrated in Figure, showing that

before saturation is reached, IC can increase an amount ideally equal to
IC (sat) - ICQ = 60.6 mA - 39.6 mA = 21.0 mA
However, IC can decrease by 39.6 mA before cutoff (IC =0) is reached.
Therefore, the limiting excursion is 21 mA because the Q-point is
closer to saturation than to cutoff.

Q5b

Draw the symbols of following diodes also discuss their working 7

principal.
(a)Zener diode (b) Tunnel diode (c) Varactor diode

Determine IB, IC,IE,VBE,VCE, and VCB in the circuit of Figure. The
transistor has a dc=150.
Answer:

From Equation 43, VBE _ 0.7 V Calculate the base, collector, and
emitter currents as follows:

IC = dcIB = (150) (430 mA) = 64.5 mA

Solve for VCE and VCB.
VCE = VCC - ICRC = 10 V - (64.5 mA) (100 ) = 10 V 6.45 V = 3.55V
VCB = VCE - VBE = 3.55 V - 0.7 V = 2.85 V

Since the collector is at a higher voltage than the base, the collectorbase junction is reverse-biased.
