Question
Given below are two statements:

Statement $I :$ $PN$ junction diodes can be used to function as transistor, simply by connecting two diodes, back to back, which acts as the base terminal.

Statement $II :$ In the study of transistor, the amplification factor $\beta$ indicates ratio of the collector current to the base current.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Answer

Back to back diode will not the make a transistor

$\beta=\frac{ i _{c}}{ i _{ b }}$

A string fixed at both ends is in resonance in its $2^{nd}$ harmonic with a tuning fork of frequency $f_1$. Now its one end becomes free. If the frequency of the tuning fork is increased slowly from $f_1$ then again a resonance is obtained when the frequency is $f_2$. If in this case the string vibrates in $n^{th}$ harmonic then
