Q-1)   The part of the transistor which is heavily doped to produce large number of majority carriers is

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

The function of emitter is to supply the majority carriers. So, it is heavily doped.

Q-8)   Consider the following statements regarding a motor car battery:
  1. The voltage is usually 12 V.
  2. Electrolyte used is hydrochloric acid.
  3. Electrodes are lead and copper.
  4. Capacity is expressed in ampere-hour.
Which of the above statements are correct?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

In case of motor car battery or automotive batteries a nominal 12-volt potential difference is provided by connecting six galvanic cells in series. Capacity of these batteries is expressed in ampere-hour.

Electrolyte used is a solution of about 35% sulphuric acid and 65% water and electrodes used are plates of lead and separate plates of lead dioxide.
