Note: This question paper contains two parts A and B. Part A is compulsory which carries 25 marks. Answer all questions in Part A. Part B consists of 5 Units. Answer any one full question from each unit. Each question carries 10 marks and may have a, b, c as sub questions.

Part A

125 marks
a
Define static resistance.
2 marks

Answer

Static resistance, also known as DC resistance, is defined as the ratio of the DC voltage across a diode to the DC current flowing through it at a specific operating point on its V-I characteristics curve. It is expressed as Rdc = V/I.

b
Write the effect of temperature on diode characteristics.
3 marks

Answer

As temperature increases, the reverse saturation current (Io) of a diode increases significantly, approximately doubling for every 10°C rise in silicon. This causes the V-I characteristic curve to shift to the left, reducing the forward voltage drop required for a specific current by about 2 mV/°C.

c
What is regulation?
