Answer:
Operating point is the zero signal values of collector Ic and collector to emitter voltage VCE of a transistor. DC load line is a straight line drawn on the output characteristics representing output DC voltage and corresponding direct current under no signal conditions.

2nd PUC Electronics Previous Year Question Paper March 2017

Question 23.
Write the circuit diagram, input and output waveforms of SCR halfwave rectifier with RC triggering circuit.
Answer:

The SCR is connected with a diode bridge rectifier. The rectifier circuit converts AC to a unidirectional current through the thyristor. The voltage on the capacitor follows the diode rectifier waveform because RC circuit is connected to diode rectifier. During each half cycle when the voltage across the capacitor reaches trigger level which is just enough to supply gate trigger current to thyristor, then thyristor starts conducting. Firing angle \(\alpha=\left(\frac{x}{\mathrm{y}}\right)_{180}\)

Question 34.
With a labelled block diagram, explain the working of AM transmitter.
2nd PUC Electronics Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 17
Answer:
The transmitter performs modulation and raises the power level of a modulated wave to required level for effective radiation.

The microphone converts the audio signal into an equivalent audio electrical signal. The output is filtered to have a bandwidth of 10kHz.

The pre amplifier provides the required voltage amplification. The driver amplifier increases the power level of the signal as required by the high power modulation amplifier.

The high frequency carrier wave is generated by a crystal oscillator which has highest frequency stability. The Carrier signal is fed to a buffer amplifer which is a low gain, high input impedance amplifer which isolates crystal oscillator and the power level of the carrier signal to drive the modulated class C amplifier.

The modulating audio signal and carrier signal are applied to the modulator. The collector modulation is used for modulation in high power transmitter. The transmitting antenna transmits the signal.

Question 35.
Explain with circuit diagram and truth table, the working of clocked SR flip flop using NAND gates.
Answer:
2nd PUC Electronics Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 18
It is constructed using inverters inserted into inputs of cross coupled NAND gates.
Working:

  1. When S=0, R=0, it does not respond and hence outputs Q and Q will remain in their previous state. This is called HOLD condition.
  2. When S=1 and R=0, the output Q and Q change to 1 and 0. This condition is called SET state.
  3. When S=0, R=1, the output Q and Q change to 0 and 1. This condition is called RESET state.
  4. When S=1 and R=l, it drives output Q and Q both to HIGH which is FORBIDDEN or INVALID condition.
