Question
  1. Draw the circuit diagram of a fullwave rectifier using p-n junction diode. Explain its working and show the output, input waveforms.
  2. Show the output waveforms (Y) for the following inputs A and B of
    1. OR gate.
    2. NAND gate.

Answer


  1. Duringfirsthalf cycle:
    A is positive w.r.t centre tap but B is negative, hence only diode $D_1$ conducts and current flows through the load in the sense X to Y.
    During the second half cycle:
    B is positive w.r.t centre tap but A is negative hence only diode $D_2 $ conducts and again send currents through load from X and Y.
    $\therefore$ Current through the load, in both the halves of input, is unidirectional.

First a set of n equal resistors of R each are connected in series to a battery of emf E and internal resistance R. A current I is observed to flow. Then the n resistors are connected in parallel to the same battery. It is observed that the current is increased 10 times. What is 'n'?
In an experiment with a potentiometer, VB = 10V. R is adjusted to be 50Ω (Fig.). A student wanting to measure voltage $E_1$ of a battery (approx. 8V) finds no null point possible. He then diminishes R to 10Ω and is able to locate the null point on the last $(4^{th})$ segment of the potentiometer. Find the resistance of the potentiometer wire and potential drop per unit length across the wire in the second case.
