Question
  1. Explain briefly the principle on which a transistor-amplifier works as an oscillator. Draw the necessary circuit diagram and explain its working.
  2. Identify the equivalent gate for the following circuit and write its truth table.

Answer

  1. Principle: A portion of the output power is returned back (feedback) to the input in phase with the starting power. (This process is termed as positive feedback)


Working:

As the switch $S_1$ is put on, a surge of collector current flows in the transistor. This current flows through the coil $T_2$. The inductive coupling between coil $T_2$ and coil $T_1$ now causes a current to flow in theemitter circuit.As a result of thispositive feed back, the emitter current also increases. When the current in $T_2$ becomes saturated, it stops increasing. Now emitter current begins to fall and becomes minimum. The whole process keeps on repeating itself.
