GATE Previous Year Type Questions

This section contains important conceptual and numerical questions inspired by previous GATE examinations.


Problem 1

A silicon diode is forward biased with voltage 0.7 V. The thermal voltage is 25 mV. Calculate exponential factor V/VT.

Solution

V / VT = 0.7 / 0.025

V/VT = 28


Problem 2

A transistor has β = 150 and emitter current IE = 3 mA. Find collector current IC.

Solution

Relation:

IC ≈ α IE

Where

α = β / (1 + β)

α = 150 / 151 ≈ 0.993

IC ≈ 2.98 mA


Problem 3

An op-amp has open loop gain 10⁵. If feedback factor β = 0.01, find closed loop gain.

Solution

Acl = A / (1 + Aβ)

Acl = 10⁵ / (1 + 10⁵ × 0.01)

Acl ≈ 100


Problem 4

A low pass filter has R = 1 kΩ and C = 0.1 μF. Find cutoff frequency.

Solution

fc = 1 / (2πRC)

fc ≈ 1591 Hz


Problem 5

In an RC phase shift oscillator, how many RC sections are used?

3 RC sections


Problem 6

A Wien bridge oscillator has R = 20 kΩ and C = 0.005 μF. Calculate oscillation frequency.

Solution

f = 1 / (2πRC)

f ≈ 1592 Hz


Problem 7

What is the ideal value of CMRR for an op-amp?

Infinite


Problem 8

Which oscillator is commonly used in RF circuits?

Hartley or Colpitts oscillator
