${I_z} = {i_s} - {i_L} = 9$ mA

$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{ZM}}=\frac{P_{z M}}{V_{z}}=\frac{0.4}{10}=0.04 \mathrm{~A} \\\\ & \text { So, } R_{P}=\frac{E_{\max }-V_{z}}{I_{Z M}}=\frac{15-10}{0.04}=\frac{5}{0.04}=125 \Omega \end{aligned} $
A potential barrier of 0.4 V exists across a p-n junction. An electron enters the junction from the n-side with a speed of 6.0 $\times$ 105 ms$-$1. The speed with which electron enters the p side will be ${x \over 3} \times {10^5}$ ms$-$1 the value of x is _____________.
(Given mass of electron = 9 $\times$ 10$-$31 kg, charge on electron = 1.6 $\times$ 10$-$19 C.)
Explanation:
Conserving energy,
${1 \over 2}m{v^2} = {1 \over 2}m{(6 \times {10^5})^2} - 0.4\,eV$
$ \Rightarrow v = \sqrt {{{(6 \times {{10}^5})}^2} - {{2 \times 1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}} \times 0.4} \over {9 \times {{10}^{ - 31}}}}} $
$ = \sqrt {36 \times {{10}^{10}} - {{1.28} \over 9} \times {{10}^{12}}} $
$ \Rightarrow v = {{14} \over 3} \times {10^5}$ m/s
$ \Rightarrow x = 14$
A transistor is used in an amplifier circuit in common emitter mode. If the base current changes by 100 $\mu$A, it brings a change of 10 mA in collector current. If the load resistance is 2 k$\Omega$ and input resistance is 1 k$\Omega$, the value of power gain is x $\times$ 104. The value of x is _____________.
Explanation:
Power gain $ = {\left[ {{{\Delta {i_C}} \over {\Delta {i_B}}}} \right]^2} \times {{{R_o}} \over {{R_i}}}$
$ = {\left[ {{{{{10}^{ - 2}}} \over {{{10}^{ - 4}}}}} \right]^2} \times {2 \over 1}$
$ = 2 \times {10^4}$
$ \Rightarrow x = 2$
A zener of breakdown voltage Vz = 8 V and maximum zener current, IZM = 10 mA is subjectd to an input voltage Vi = 10 V with series resistance R = 100 $\Omega$. In the given circuit RL represents the variable load resistance. The ratio of maximum and minimum value of RL is _____________.
Explanation:
Minimum value of RL for which the diode is shorted is ${{{R_L}} \over {{R_L} + 100}} \times 10 = 8 \Rightarrow {R_L} = 400\,\Omega $
For maximum value of RL, current through diode is 10 mA
So ${i_R} = {i_{{R_L}}} + {I_{ZM}}$
${2 \over {100}} = {8 \over {{R_L}}} + 10 \times {10^{ - 3}}$
$10 \times {10^{ - 3}} = {8 \over {{R_L}}}$
${R_L} = 800\,\Omega $
So ${{{R_{L\,\max }}} \over {{R_{L\,\min }}}} = 2$

$ = {{(10\,mA)(60\,\Omega )} \over {(200\,\mu A)(200\,\Omega )}}$
$\Rightarrow$ Voltage gain = 15
In the given circuit, the value of current IL will be ____________ mA. (When RL = 1k$\Omega$)

A transistor is used in common-emitter mode in an amplifier circuit. When a signal of 10 mV is added to the base-emitter voltage, the base current changes by 10 $\mu$A and the collector current changes by 1.5 mA. The load resistance is 5 k$\Omega$. The voltage gain of the transistor will be _________.
Explanation:
${R_B} = {{10 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}} \over {10 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}$
$ = {10^3}\,\Omega $
$\therefore$ ${A_v} = \left( {{{\Delta {I_C}} \over {\Delta {I_B}}}} \right) \times \left( {{{{R_C}} \over {{R_B}}}} \right)$
$ = {{1.5 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}} \over {10 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}} \times {{5 \times {{10}^3}} \over {1 \times {{10}^3}}}$
$ = {{1.5 \times 5} \over {10}} \times (1000)$
$ = 750$
