Question
A circuit with a fixed emitter current is called_____.
1
Select one:
a. base-bias.
b. one-supply bias.
c. emitter-bias.

d. grid-bias.
The correct answer is: emitter-bias.
Section 5-3 pg 241-242
Determine which BJT bias has a fixed emitter current (doesn’t rely on the base current value).
Question
A nonconducting diode is ________ biased.
2
Section 2-1 pg 34
Know the type of biasing required for a diode to not conduct, or prevent current flow.
Question
A Schottky diode is a diode that _____.
3
Section 3-5 pg 149
Know the primary uses for Schottky diodes.
Question
For a JFET, there is maximum drain current when _____.
4

Section 8-2 pg 388
Know under what condition the JFET has maximum drain current (I
DSS
).
Question
If the base-emitter junction opens in a voltage-divider biased circuit, the emitter voltage will measure _____.
5
Select one:
a. a voltage nearly equal to VCC.
b. 0.7 V less than the base.
c. 0.7 V more than the base.
d. 0 V.
The correct answer is: 0.7 V less than the base.
) measurement if the base-emitter junction becomes open.
This solution is not correct; the answer should be D: 0V . If the R
E
were open, the emitter voltage would be 0.7V
less than the base, but since the base-emitter of the transistor is open, there is no current reaching the emitter
leg.
Section 5-2 pg 249-250
Determine the emitter voltage (V
E
