Zener diodes with breakdown voltage ranging over 2 V — 200 V are commercially available. The breakdown voltage of a Zener diode:

1. Increases with increasing doping concentration

2. Decreases with increasing doping concentration

3. Does not depend on doping concentration

4. May increase or decrease with increasing doping concentration

A Zener diode of breakdown voltage, ${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{Z}}$ = 10 V is used in the given circuit. The current through the load resistor $\left({\mathrm{R}}_{\mathrm{L}}\right)$ is:

1.  10 $\mathrm{\mu A}$

2.  5 $\mathrm{\mu A}$

3.  10 mA

4.  5 mA

The figure shows an n-p-n transistor. Choose the correct statement out of the following.

1.  Collector-base junction, as well as emitter-base junction both, are forward biased.

2.  Collector-base junction, as well as emitter-base junction both, are reverse biased.

3.  Collector-base junction is forward biased and the emitter-base junction is reverse biased.

4.  Collector-base junction is reverse-biased and the emitter-base junction is forward biased.

In the circuit shown in the figure, the current amplification factor ($\mathrm{\beta }$) is 80. Neglecting base-
emitter voltage (${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{BE}}$), calculate the collector current :

1.  0.78 mA

2.  0.96 mA

3.  1.28 mA

4.  2.20 mA

In the circuit shown, if each diode has a forward-biased resistance of 75 $\mathrm{\Omega }$ and infinite resistance in reverse biasing, what will be the values of currents ${\mathrm{i}}_1, {\mathrm{i}}_2, {\mathrm{i}}_3 \mathrm{and} {\mathrm{i}}_4$?

1.  ${\mathrm{i}}_1 = 0.2 \mathrm{A}, {\mathrm{i}}_2 = 0, {\mathrm{i}}_3 = 0.2 \mathrm{A}, {\mathrm{i}}_4 = 0$

2.  ${\mathrm{i}}_1 = 0.26 \mathrm{A}, {\mathrm{i}}_2 = 0, {\mathrm{i}}_3 = 0.26 \mathrm{A}, {\mathrm{i}}_4 = 0$

3.  ${\mathrm{i}}_1 = 0.2 \mathrm{A}, {\mathrm{i}}_2 = 0.07, {\mathrm{i}}_3 = 0.0.7 \mathrm{A}, {\mathrm{i}}_4 = 0.07 \mathrm{A}$

4.  ${\mathrm{i}}_1 = 0.2 \mathrm{A}, {\mathrm{i}}_2 = 0.1, {\mathrm{i}}_3 = 0 \mathrm{A}, {\mathrm{i}}_4 = 0.1 \mathrm{A}$

Doping of a semiconductor (with small traces of impurity atoms) generally changes the resistivity as follows:

1. does not alter

2. increases

3. decreases 

4. may increase or decrease depending on the dopant
