The following configuration of gate equivalent to :

0%
NAND
0%
XOR
0%
OR
0%
None of these

Explanation

The given output equation can also be written as

$Y=\left( A+B \right) \cdot \left( \bar { A } +\bar { B } \right)$ (Demorgan's theorem)

$\Rightarrow Y=A\bar { A } +A\bar { B } +B\bar { A } +B\bar { B }$

$\Rightarrow Y=0+A\bar { B } +\bar { A } B+0$

$\Rightarrow Y=\bar { A } B+A\bar { B }$

This is the expression for XOR gate.

The combination of gates shown in the figure below produces.

0%
NOR gate
0%
OR gate
0%
AND gate
0%
XOR gate

Explanation

Here, the output of these gate

$Y = \overline {\overline {A} - \overline {B}}$
But according to Boolean algebra,

$\overline {A}\cdot \overline {B} = \overline {A + B}$

$\therefore Y = \overline {\overline {A + B}} = A + B$
or

$Y = A + B$
It meas the whole circuit of gates behaves as OR gate.

In the circuit diagram, the current through the Zener diode is :

0%
$10 mA$
0%
$3.33 mA$
0%
$6.67 mA$
0%
$0 mA$

Explanation

The voltage drop across

${ R }_{ 2 }$ is

${ V }_{ { R }_{ 2 } }={ V }_{ z }=10 V$

The current through

${ R }_{ 2 }$ is

${ I }_{ { R }_{ 2 } }=\dfrac { { V }_{ { R }_{ 2 } } }{ { R }_{ 2 } } =\dfrac { 10 }{ 1500 } =0.667\times { 10 }^{ -2 }A$

$=6.67\times { 10 }^{ -3 }A=6.67 mA$

The voltage drop across

${ R }_{ 1 }$ is

${ V }_{ { R }_{ 1 } }=15 V - { V }_{ { R }_{ 2 } }=15 V-10 V=5 V$

The current through

${ R }_{ 1 }$ is

${ I }_{ { R }_{ 1 } }=\dfrac { { V }_{ { R }_{ 1 } } }{ { R }_{ 1 } } =\dfrac { 5V }{ 500\Omega } ={ 10 }^{ -3 }A=10\times { 10 }^{ -3 }=10 mA$

The current through Zener diode is

${ I }_{ z }={ I }_{ { R }_{ 1 } }-{ I }_{ { R }_{ 2 } }=\left( 10-6.67 \right) mA=3.33 mA$

Identify the mismatched pair from the following

0%
zener diode : voltage regulator
0%
germanium doped with phosphorous : n-type semiconductor
0%
semiconductor : band gap > 3 eV
0%
p-n junction diode : rectifier
0%
silicon doped with aluminium : p-type semiconductor

Explanation

For semiconductor band gap is

$<3eV$ so given option is incorrect.

When zener dioode is operated in breakdown region, voltge across it remains constant even if current through it changes by large amount.

Germanium when doped with phosphorous forms n-type semiconductor and silicon when doped with aluminum forms p-type.

p-n junction can be used as half wave or full wave rectifier.

The circuit gives the output as that of:

0%

$=A\cdot B\cdot C=$ AND gate
Output is high only when all inputs are high as that of AND gate.

$A$ and

$B$ are the two points on a uniform ring of radius

$r$ . The resistance of the rings is

$R$ and

$\angle AOB = \theta$ as shown in the figure. The equivalent resistance between points

$A$ and

$B$ is _____

0%
$\dfrac {R(2\pi - \theta)}{4\pi}$
0%
$\dfrac {R\theta}{2\pi}$
0%
$R\left (1 - \dfrac {\theta}{2\pi}\right )$
0%
$\dfrac {R}{4\pi^{2}} (2\pi - \theta)\theta$

Explanation

Consider the ring as two parts as two resistances joined in parallel between two points

$A$ and

$B$ , then two resistance would be

$R_{1} = \dfrac {2\pi r} \cdot r\theta = \dfrac {R}{2\pi}\theta$
and

$R_{2} = \dfrac {R}{2\pi r} r (2\pi - \theta)$

$= \dfrac {R}{2\pi} (2\pi - \theta)$
Now, equivalent or effective resistance between

$A$ and

$B$

$R_{eq} = \dfrac {R_{1}\times R_{2}}{R_{1} + R_{2}}$

$\Rightarrow R_{eq} = \dfrac {\dfrac {R}{2\pi}\theta \times \dfrac {R}{2\pi}(2\pi - \theta)}{\dfrac {R}{2\pi}[\theta + 2\pi - \theta]}$

$= \left [\dfrac {\dfrac {R^{2}\theta (2\pi - \theta)}{4\pi^{2}}}{\dfrac {2\pi R}{2\pi}}\right ]$

$= \dfrac {R^{2}\theta (2\pi - \theta)}{4\pi^{2}} \times \dfrac {2\pi}{2\pi R}$

$= \dfrac {R\theta (2\pi - \theta)}{4\pi^{2}}$ .

0%
1, 1, 0
0%
0, 0, 1

Explanation

$(A+B) \cdot C=1$

$A\cdot C+B \cdot =1$

$A\cdot C= 1$ or

$B\cdot C = 1$

$A=1, B= 0, C=1$
So, (1, 0, 1) is correct option.

0%
$10\ mA$
0%
$15\ mA$
0%
$40\ mA$

0%
$A = 0, B = 1, C = 0$
0%
$A = 0, B = 1, C = 1$
0%
$A = 1, B = 1, C = 1$
0%
$A = 1, B = 0, C = 1$

Explanation

The logic circuit is
The output,

$Y = \overline{\overline {\overline {A} \cdot B} + \overline {C}} = \overline {\overline {\overline {A} \cdot B} \cdot \overline {C}} = \overline {A} \cdot B\cdot C$

$[\overline {A + B} = \overline {A} \cdot \overline {B}$ , Demorgan's law]
when

$A = 0, B = 1, C = 1$ , then

$Y = 1 [\because \overline {A} = 1]$ .

In the adjoining circuit of logic gate, the output

$Y$ becomes zero if the inputs are

0%

0%
$A = 0, B = 1, C = 1$
0%
$A = 1, B = 0, C = 0$

Explanation

The output

$Y = \overline {(A\cdot B)\cdot C} = \overline {(A \cdot B)} + \overline {\overline {C}}$

$= \overline {(A\cdot B)} + C$
So,

$Y = 0$ if

$A = 1, B = 1$ and

$C = 0$ .

Explanation

$D_2=4.24cm$

Initial Area of the hole

$(A_0)=\pi r^2=22/7(4.24/2)^2\\=4.494\pi cm^2$

Initial temp.

$(T_1)=27°=27+273=300K$

With increase in temperature the conductivity of?

0%
Metals increases and of semiconductor decreases
0%
Semiconductors increases and of metals decreases
0%

0%
In both metal and semiconductor decreases

Explanation

As the temperature increases, more electrons get the energy to jump from Conduction band to valence band, and thereby increases the conductivity of the semiconductor.

In metal, resistance increases with increase in temperature hence conductivity decreases.

So, option

A heater is designed to operate with a power of

$1000\ W$ in a

$100\ V$ line. It is connected in combination with a resistance of

$10\Omega$ and a resistance

$R$ , to a

$100\ V$ mains as shown in the figure. What will be the value of

$R$ so that the heater operates with a power of

$62.5\ W$ ?

0%
$15\Omega$
0%
$10\Omega$
0%
$5\Omega$
0%
$25\Omega$

Explanation

Given that,

Power rating of a heater,

$P=1000\ W$

Voltage rating of heater,

$V=100\ V$

$\therefore$ Resistance of heater,

$R= \dfrac{V^2}P= \dfrac{100\times100}{1000}=10 \Omega$

Given that, Power at which heater operates ,

$P'=62.5\ W$

Hence, Voltage drop across the heater,

$V'=\sqrt{RP'}=\sqrt{10\times62.5}=25 \ V$

Since the voltage drop across the heater is

$25\ V$ hence voltage drop across

$10\ Ω$ resistor is

$, V_r= (100-25) = 75\ V$

Current in the circuit,

$I=\dfrac{V_r}R= \dfrac{75}{10}=7.5\ A$

Further, the current divides into two parts.

Let

$I_1$ be the current that passes through the heater.

$\therefore 25=I_1\times 10\implies I_1=2.5\ A$

Hence, current through resistance

$R$ is,

$i=7.5-2.5=5\ A$

Applying Ohm's law across

$R$ , we get

$\therefore iR=25 \implies R=\dfrac{25}5=5\Omega$

Hence, option

$(C)$ is correct.

The current flowing through the zener diode in figure is:

0%
$20\,mA$
0%
$25\,mA$
0%
$15\,mA$
0%
$5\,mA$

Explanation

Using Kirchoff's current law:

$\dfrac{{10 - 5}}{{500}} = {I_1} + \dfrac{5}{{1000}}$

$\dfrac{5}{{500}} - \dfrac{5}{{1000}} = {I_1}$

$\dfrac{{10 - 5}}{{1000}} = {I_1}$

$\boxed{5\,mA = {I_1}}$

Germanium and silicon junction diodes are connected in parallel. These are connected in series with a resistance

$R$ , a milliammeter

$(mA)$ and a key

$(K)$ as shown in Fig. When key

$(K)$ is closed a current begins to flow in the milliammeter. The potential drop across the germanium diode is then

0%
$0.3 V$
0%
$0.7 V$
0%
$1.1 V$
0%
$12 V$

Explanation

In Fig. germanium diode is reverse biased and silicon diode is forward biased. Therefore, there will be no current in the branch of germanium diode. The potential barrier of silicon diode is

$0.7 V$ . Therefore, for conduction minimum potential difference across silicon is

$0.7 V$ .
Maximum potential difference across resistance,

$R = 12 - 0.7 = 11.3 V.$
