In octal, grouping bits are by

  • 3’s

Permeameter is

  • an instrument used to determine the characteristic of a ferromagnet

Volatile memory is

  • semiconductor ROM

Oscillator oscillates on

  • positive feedback

Hexadecimal is

  • a number system that use number and letter symbols

MOSFET differ in JFET in

  • P-N junction

Before illuminating PN junction, the photodiode is 

  • reversed bias

In silicon (atomic no. = 14), outermost orbit is

  • half filled

Sulphation in lead acid battery is due to

  • incomplete charging

General purpose diode suffer avalanche breakdown rather than zener diode because of

  • dissipated maximum power

Active materials in nickel iron battery are:

  • Nickel hydrogen, powdered iron & oxides and 21%solution of caustic potash

Double energy transients consists of

  • reactance, inductance and capacitance

Advantage of compiler over interpreter in computer is

  • can store and retrieve as often as required

Emitter is _____ compared to collector

  • heavily doped

In CE, if emitter bypass capacitor is removed, ______ will be reduced

  • Voltage gain

Inverter circuit employed the conversion of

  • DC voltage to AC voltage

  • three larger than the BCD code

During charging and discharging of nickel-iron cell

  • water is neither formed nor adsorbed

The emitter of a transistor is generally doped the heaviest because

  • it has to dissipate maximum power

The unique features of common collector amplifier is that it
