Which of the following can vary with ac, but not with dc?

A.  B.  C.  D. 

Power. Voltage. Frequency. Magnitude.

ANSWER: C EXPLANATION: Sawtooth EXPLANATION:  Sawtooth waves can have rise and delay slopes in an infinite number of different combinations. One common example is shown in the figure. In this case, the rise and decay are both finite and equal. This is known as triangular wave.

ANSWER: C EXPLANATION:: In ac, the polarity reverses EXPLANATION reverses at regular intervals. The instantaneous amplitude (that is, the amplitude at any given instant in time) of ac usually varies because of the repeated reversal of polarity. But there are certain cases where the amplitude remains constant, even though the polarity keeps reversing. The rate of change of polarity is the variable that makes ac so much different from the dc. The behavior of an ac wave depends largely on this rate: the frequency.

ANSWER: A EXPLANATION:  Inductors do EXPLANATION:  do not behave the same as resistors. Whereas resistors simply oppose the flow of electrons through them (by dropping a voltage directly proportional to the current), inductors oppose changes in current through them, by dropping a voltage directly proportional to the rate of change of current. In accordance with Lenz’s Law, Law, this induced voltage is always of such a polarity as to try to maintain current at its present value. That is, if current is increasing in magnitude, the induced voltage will “push against” the electron flow; if current is decreasing, the polarity will reverse and “push with” the electron flow to oppose the decrease. This opposition to current change is called reactance, rather than resistance.  resistance.

semiconductors; today it is seen occasionally but not often. Other substances that work as semiconductors are selenium, cadmium compounds, indium compounds, and the oxides of certain metals.

A.  Make the charge carriers move faster. B.  Cause holes to flow. C.  Give semiconductor material specific properties. D.  Protect devices from damage in case of transients. ANSWER: C EXPLANATION:   For a semiconductor EXPLANATION: material to have the properties necessary in order to function as electronic components, impurities are usually added. The impurities cause the material to conduct currents in certain ways. The addition of an impurity to a semiconductor is called doping. Sometimes the impurity is called a dopant.

23.  A semiconductor material is made into N type by: A.  B.  C.  D. 

Adding an acceptor impurity. Adding a donor impurity. Injecting electrons. Taking electrons away

ANSWER: B EXPLANATION: When an impurity contains an EXPLANATION: When excess of electrons, the dopant is called a donor impurity. Adding such a substance causes conduction mainly by means of electron flow, as in an ordinary metal such as copper or aluminum. The excess electrons are passed from atom to atom when a voltage exists across the material. Elements that serve as donor impurities include antimony, arsenic, bismuth, and phosphorus. A material with a donor impurity is called an N-type semiconductor, because electrons have negative (N) charge.

24.  Which of the following does not result from adding an acceptor impurity?  impurity?   A.  The material becomes P type. B.  Current flows mainly in the form of holes. C.  Most of the carriers have positive electric charge. D.  The substance acquires an electron surplus. ANSWER: D EXPLANATION: If an impurity has a deficiency EXPLANATION: If of electrons, the dopant is called an acceptor impurity. When a substance such as aluminum, boron, gallium, or indium is added to a semiconductor, the material conducts by means of hole flow. A hole is a missing electron— electron —or more precisely, a place in an atom where an electron should be, but isn’t. A semiconductor with an acceptor impurity is called a P-type semiconductor, because holes have, in effect, a positive (P) charge. REFERENCE:   TEACH YOURSELF ELECTRICITY REFERENCE:  AND ELECTRONICS BY STAN GIBILISCO 4 TH ED. 25.  When a P-N junction does not conduct even though a voltage is applied, the junction is A.  Reverse biased at a voltage less than the avalanche voltage B.  overdriven C.  Biased past the breaker voltage. D.  In a state of avalanche effect. ANSWER: A EXPLANATION:   When the battery or dc EXPLANATION: power-supply polarity is switched so the Ntype material is positive with respect to the P type, the situation is called reverse bias. Electrons in the N-type material are pulled toward the positive charge pole, away from the P-N junction. In the P-type material, holes are pulled toward the negative charge pole, also away from the P-N junction. The electrons are the majority carriers in the Ntype material, and the holes are the majority carriers in the P-type material. The charge therefore becomes depleted in the vicinity of the P-N junction, and on both sides of it. This zone, where majority carriers are deficient, is

 

 

called the depletion region. A shortage of majority carriers in any semiconductor substance means that the substance cannot conduct well. Thus, the depletion region acts like an electrical insulator. This is why a semiconductor diode will not normally conduct when it is reverse-biased. A diode is, in effect, a one-way current gate— gate —usually! REFERENCE:   TEACH YOURSELF ELECTRICITY REFERENCE:  AND ELECTRONICS BY STAN GIBILISCO 4 TH ED.

Other junctions are slower. The main limiting factor is the capacitance at the P-N  junction during conditions of reverse bias. As the junction capacitance of a diode increases, maximum frequency at which it can alternate between the conducting state and the nonconducting state decreases. The  junction capacitance of a diode depends on several factors, including the operating voltage, the type of semiconductor material, and the cross-sectional area of the P-N junction.

26.  If the reverse bias exceeds the avalanche voltage in a P-N junction:

A.  The junction will be destroyed. B.  The junction will insulate; no current will flow. C.  The junction will conduct current. D.  The capacitance will become extremely high. ANSWER: C EXPLANATION:   Sometimes, a diode conducts EXPLANATION: when it is reverse-biased. The greater the reverse-bias voltage, the more like an electrical insulator a P-N junction gets— gets—up to a point. But if the reverse bias rises past a specific critical value, the voltage overcomes the ability of the junction to prevent the flow of current, and the junction conducts as if it were forward-biased. This phenomenon is called the avalanche effect because conduction occurs in a sudden and massive way, something like a snow avalanche on a mountainside. REFERENCE:   TEACH YOURSELF ELECTRICITY REFERENCE:  AND ELECTRONICS BY STAN GIBILISCO 4 TH ED.

27.  When a P-N junction is reverse-biased, the capacitance depends on all of the following except:   except: A.  The frequency. B.  The width of the depletion region. C.  The cross-sectional area of the  junction. D.  The type of semiconductor material. ANSWER: A EXPLANATION:  Some P-N junctions can EXPLANATION:  alternate between conduction (in forward bias) and nonconduction (in reverse bias) millions or billions of times per second.

Rogelyn L. Barbosa| BS ECE

If you examine Figure above, you might get the idea that the depletion region, sandwiched between two semiconducting sections, can play a role similar to that of the dielectric in a capacitor. This is true! In fact, a reverse-biased P-N junction actually is a capacitor. Some semiconductor components, called varactor diodes, are manufactured with this property specifically in mind. The junction capacitance of a diode can be varied by changing the reverse-bias voltage, because this voltage affects the width of the depletion region. The greater the reverse voltage, the wider the depletion region gets, and the smaller the capacitance becomes. REFERENCE : TEACH YOURSELF ELECTRICITY REFERENCE: AND ELECTRONICS BY STAN GIBILISCO 4 TH ED.

28.  Holes flow the opposite way from electrons because:

A.  Charge carriers flow continuously. B.  Charge carriers are passed from atom to atom. C.  They have the same polarity. D.  No! Holes flow in the same direction as electrons. ANSWER: B EXPLANATION:  EXPLANATION:  Charge carriers in semiconductor materials are either electrons, each of which has a unit negative charge, or holes, each of which has a unit positive charge. In any semiconductor substance, some of the current takes the form of electrons passed from atom to atom in a negative-to-positive direction,

 

 

and some of the current occurs as holes that move from atom to atom in a positiveto-negative direction.

Sometimes electrons account for most of the current in a semiconductor. This is the case if the material has donor impurities, that is, if it is of the N type. In other cases, holes account for most of the current. This happens when the material has acceptor impurities, and is thus of the P type. The dominating charge carriers (either electrons or holes) are called the majority carriers. The less abundant ones are called the minority carriers. The ratio of majority to minority carriers can vary, depending on the way in which the semiconductor material has been manufactured. Figure above is a simplified illustration of electron flow versus hole flow in a sample of N-type semiconductor material, where the majority carriers are electrons and the minority carriers are holes. The solid black dots represent electrons. Imagine them moving from right to left in this illustration as they are passed from atom to atom. Small open circles represent holes. Imagine them moving from left to right in the illustration. In this particular example, the positive battery or power-supply powersupply terminal (or “source of holes”) would be out of the picture toward the left, and the negative battery or power-supply terminal (or “source of electrons”) would be out of the picture toward the right.

voltage drops back below the critical value, the junction behaves normally again.Some components are designed to take advantage of the avalanche effect. In other cases, the avalanche effect limits the performance of a circuit. In a device designed for voltage regulation, called a Zener diode, diode, you’ll hear about the avalanche voltage or Zener voltage specification. This can range from a couple of volts to well over 100 V. Zener diodes are often used in voltage-regulating circuits.

D.

the depletion region is wide enough

ANSWER: A EXPLANATION: It EXPLANATION:  It takes a specific, well-defined minimum applied voltage for conduction to occur through a semiconductor diode. This is called the forward breakover voltage. Depending on the type of material, the forward breakover voltage varies from about 0.3 V to 1 V. If the voltage across the junction is not at least as great as the forward breakover voltage, the diode will not conduct, even when it is connected as shown in Figure below. This effect, known as the forward breakover effect or the P-N junction threshold effect can be of use in circuits designed to limit thethatpositive and/or voltages signals can attain.negative The effectpeak can also be used in a device called a threshold detector, in which a signal must be stronger than certain amplitude in order to pass through.

If the device is NPN, the arrow at the emitter points outward. If the device is PNP, the arrow at the emitter points inward. Generally, PNP and NPN transistors can perform the same functions. The differences are the polarities of the voltages and the directions of the resulting currents. In most applications, an NPN device can be replaced with a PNP device or vice versa, the power-supply polarity can be reversed, and the circuit will work in the same way— way—as long as the new device has the appropriate specifications.

The base has a low density of holes, which are the majority carriers, as represented by the white circles. A small percentage of the total number of free electrons injected into the base regionelectrons recombine with holes and region move as valence through the base and into the emitter region as hole current, indicated by the red arrows.

When the electrons that have recombined with holes as valence electrons leave the crystalline structure of the base, they become free electrons in the metallic base lead and produce the external base current. Most of the free electrons that have entered the base do not recombine with holes because the base is very thin. As the free electrons move toward the reverse-biased BC junction, they are swept across into the collector region by the attraction of the positive collector supply voltage. The free electrons move through the collector region, into the external circuit, and then return into the emitter region along with the base current, as indicated. The emitter current is slightly greater than the collector current because of the small base current that splits off from the total current injected into the base region from the emitter.

Rogelyn L. Barbosa| BS ECE

the

gate

The Figure above shows how the level of the gate current, IG , can control the forward breakover voltage, VBRF . The maximum forward breakover voltage, VBRF, occurs when the gate current, I G , equals zero. When the gate-cathode  junction is forward biased, the SCR will fi re at a lower anode-cathode voltage. Notice in the figure, that as the gate current, IG , is increased, the value of V BRF is decreased. As the value of gate current, IG , is increased, the SCR functions much like an ordinary rectifier diode. An important characteristic of an SCR is that once it is turned on by gate current, the gate loses all control. The only way to turn off the SCR is to reduce the anode current below the level of holding current, IH . Not even a negative gate voltage will turn the SCR off in this case. In most cases, the anode supply voltage is an alternating voltage. This means that the SCR will automatically turn off when the anode voltage drops to zero or goes negative. Of course, when the anode voltage is negative, the SCR is reverse-biased. The process of turning off an SCR is called commutation.

B.  Handle some of the load current C.  Vary the holding current D.  None of the above ANSWER: A EXPLANATION: A.  20.1 µA B.  19.1 mA C.  20.1mA D.  19.1 µA SCRs are frequently used to control the amount of power that is delivered to a load. The figure above shows how the conduction angle of an SCR can be controlled over the range of 0°to 180° by using an RC phase-shifting network. Recall from basic ac circuit theory that the capacitor and resistor voltage in a series RC circuit are always 90° out of phase. In figure above, the voltage across the capacitor is applied to the anode side of the diode, D1. The cathode lead of the diode connects to the gate of the SCR. Again, the purpose of using the diode is to ensure that the negative alternation of the input voltage cannot apply excessive reverse-bias voltage to the SCR’s gate cathode  junction. When R is increased to nearly its maximum value, the phase angle θ between V in and the capacitor voltage, V C , is approximately 90°. This means it will take longer for the voltage across C to reach the voltage required to f re the SCR. Since the RC network provides a “delay,” the SCR can be triggered in the 90°to 180° portion of the input cycle, resulting in smoother control of the load current.

Another very important op-amp specification is its slew rate, usually designated S R . The slew-rate specification of an op amp tells how fast the output voltage can change in volts per microsecond, or V/µs. For a 741 op amp, the S R is 0.5 V/µs. This means that no matter how fast the input voltage to a 741 op amp changes, the output voltage can change only as fast as 0.5 V/µs,

Rogelyn L. Barbosa| BS ECE

The circuit is called an inverting amplifier because the input and output signals are 180_ out of phase. The 180° inversion occurs because V in phase is applied to the inverting (  –) –) input terminal of the op amp. Resistors R F and R i provide the negative feedback, which in turn controls the circuit’s overall voltage gain. The output signal is fed back to the inverting input through resistors R F and R i . The voltage between the inverting input and ground is the differential input voltage, designated V id . The exact value of V id is determined by the values A VOL and V out . Even with negative feedback, the output voltage of an op amp can be found from Vout = AVOL X Vid

 

 

For all practical purposes, V id is so small that it can be considered zero in most cases. This introduces little or no error in circuit analysis. Because V id is so small (practically zero), the inverting input terminal of the op amp is said to be at virtual ground. This means that the voltage at op potential amp’s inverting inputyet is at thethe same as ground, it can sink no current. Because the inverting input of the op amp is at virtual ground, the voltage source,V in , sees an input impedance equal to R i . Therefore, Zin Ri. The inverting input of the op amp has extremely high input impedance, but its value is not the input impedance of the circuit.

However, unlike the ideal voltmeter, the ideal ammeter has zero internal resistance, so as to drop as little voltage as possible as electrons flow through it. Note that this ideal resistance value is exactly opposite as that of a voltmeter. With voltmeters, we want as little current to be drawn as possible from the circuit under test.

In other words, it acts very much like a piece of wire, with very little resistance from one test probe to the other. Consequently, an ammeter will act as a short circuit if placed in parallel (across the terminals of) a substantial source of voltage.

EXPLANATION:   A variation on the idea of EXPLANATION: the AND gate is called the NAND gate. The word “NAND” is a verbal contraction of the words NOT and AND. Essentially, a NAND gate behaves the same as an AND gate with a NOT (inverter) gate connected to the output terminal. To symbolize this output signal inversion, the NAND gate symbol has a bubble on the output line. The truth table for a NAND gate is as one might expect, exactly opposite as that of an AND gate:

As with AND gates, NAND gates are made with more than two inputs. In such cases, the same general principle applies: the output will be “low” (0) if and only if all inputs are “high” (1). If any input is “low” (0), the output will go “high” (1).  (1).
