TEST 6


More questions along the same lines as the previous two tests, but this time we introduce some new topics that may not have been covered in the notes. The advantage of the layout in this test is the way the answer can be hidden until required. This way you can write your answers without being distracted by the answer we have provided. 
This highlights just one of the advantages of presenting information via the computer and with the pages being on the web, the whole world has access to the information. 
Just imagine if every subject was presented in a progressive manner such as this! Not only would we learn 10 times faster but the information could be more diverse,  more practical and more up-to-date! 
Now, back to the topic in question. 
We have attempted to animate some of the circuits so you can get a visualisation of how they are operating. Obviously an animation is not exactly how the circuit is behaving, but it's the closest we can get. It is essential for you to "see" circuits operating so you can design and service them.

Question 1: A Common-Emitter stage is shown with a base-bias resistor and LOAD resistor. The input and output lines are also shown. What happens to the voltage on the collector when the resistance of the base-bias resistor is REDUCED:

Question 2: What happens to the collector in the common-emitter circuit when the LOAD resistor is REDUCED :

Question 3: Why do we put a
capacitor on the input line?


Question 4: Name the type of circuit produced when a coil and capacitor are placed in parallel:

Question 5: Draw an NPN emitter-follower being pulled-up with a base resistor. Describe what this resistor is doing.        Use the components provided: (Click and drag the items to create the circuit) 



Question 6: Draw a TANK circuit using the following components. Click and drag the items to create the circuit:




Question 7: Draw two capacitor-coupled, self-biased common-emitter stages with capacitor input and output.


   

    

Question 8: Draw an emitter-follower stage.
