This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation- The NOT GATE is a device which has only one input and one output i.e., A'=Y means Y equals NOT A.

This GATE cannot be realised by using diodes. However it can be realised by making use of a
transistor. This can be seen in the figure given below.
A | Y |
0 | 1 |
1 | 0 |
Here, the base B of the transistor is connected to the input A through a resistance Rb and the emitter E is earthed. The collector is connected to 5 V battery. The output Y is the voltage at C w.r.t. earth.
The resistor Rb and Rc are so chosen that if emitter-base junction is unbiased, the transistor is in

Explanation- as base current IB =
As Ri is increased IB is decreased.

And collector current is Ic = IB as IB decreased Ic also decreased and the rading of voltmeter and ammeter also decreased.

This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation- E=hc/ = = 2.06eV
The incident radiation which is detected by the photodiode having energy should be greater
Than the band-gap. So, it is only valid for diode D2.Then, diode D2 will detect this radiation.

This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation-
(i) The characteristic curve (a) is of Zener diode and curve (b) is of solar cell.
(ii) The point P in fig. (a) represents Zener break down voltage.
(iii) In fig. (b), the point Q represents zero voltage and negative current. It means light falling on solar cell with atleast minimum threshold frequency gives the current in opposite direction to that due to a battery connected to solar cell. But for the point Q, the battery is short circuited. Hence represents the short circuit current.
In fig. (b), the point P represents some positive voltage on sol

Explanation- In CE transistor amplifier, the power gain is very high.
In this circuit, the extra power required for amplified output is obtained from DC source.
Thus, the circuit used does not violet the law of conservation.

This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation- as we know total voltage amplification =
Avx= 10, Avy = 20, Avz = 30
vi = 1mV= 10-3V
So according to formula
= (Avx ) (Avy ) (Avz)
vo = (Avx ) (Avy ) (Avz) vi
= 10-3 =6V
So in first case output cannot be greater than 6V but in 2nd case it will work
