What is the relationship between collector current (Ic) and base current (Ib) in a BJT?
A Ic = Ib × β (beta)
B Ic = Ib / β
C Ic = Ib + β
D Ic = β / Ib
Correct Answer:  A. Ic = Ib × β (beta)
EXPLANATION

In BJT, the current gain (beta or hFE) is defined as the ratio of collector current to base current: β = Ic/Ib, so Ic = Ib × β. Beta typically ranges from 50 to 500 for most transistors.

Test
In a BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor), what are the three regions of operation?
A Saturation, Amplification, Cutoff
B Saturation, Active, Cutoff
C Conduction, Amplification, Blocking
D Forward, Reverse, Neutral
Correct Answer:  B. Saturation, Active, Cutoff
EXPLANATION

BJT operates in three distinct regions: Active region (linear amplification with both junctions forward biased), Saturation (both junctions forward biased, acts as switch ON), and Cutoff (both junctions reverse biased, acts as switch OFF).

Test
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a Zener diode?
A Operates in reverse bias region
B Used for voltage regulation
C Has high forward resistance
D Conducts heavily in forward bias like normal diodes
Correct Answer:  C. Has high forward resistance
EXPLANATION

Zener diodes have low forward resistance (like normal diodes in forward bias) but the unique property is controlled reverse breakdown at a specific voltage for regulation purposes.

Test
The barrier potential of a silicon PN junction at room temperature is approximately:
A 0.3 V
B 0.7 V
C 1.4 V
D 2.0 V
Correct Answer:  B. 0.7 V
EXPLANATION

Silicon PN junctions have a built-in barrier potential of approximately 0.7 V at room temperature (25°C), while germanium junctions are around 0.3 V.

Test
What is the primary function of a PN junction diode?
A To allow current flow in both directions equally
B To allow current flow preferentially in one direction
C To amplify electrical signals
D To store electrical charge indefinitely
Correct Answer:  B. To allow current flow preferentially in one direction
EXPLANATION

A PN junction diode exhibits rectification property, allowing current to flow easily in the forward direction (low resistance) and blocking it in the reverse direction (high resistance).
