MCQ
The output of the given circuit in Fig.
  • A
    Would be zero at all times.
  • B
    Would be like a half wave rectifier with positive cycles in output.
  • Would be like a half wave rectifier with negative cycles in output.
  • D
    Would be like that of a full wave rectifier.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Would be like a half wave rectifier with negative cycles in output.
Key Concept:
  1. During positive half cycle,
Diode $\rightarrow $ Forward biased
Output signal $\rightarrow $ obtained
  1. During negative half cycle,
Diode $\rightarrow $ reverse biased
Output signal $\rightarrow $ not obtained
  1. Output voltage is obtained across the load resistance $RL$. It is not constant but pulsating $($mixture of $ac$ and $dc)$ in nature.
  2. Average output in one cycle
  3. $\text{r.m.s.}$ output: $\text{I}_\text{rms}=\frac{\text{I}_0}{2},\text{V}_\text{rms}=\frac{\text{V}_0}{2}$
When the diode is forward biased during positive half cycle of input $AC$ voltage, the resistance of $p-n$ junction is low. The current in the circuit is maximum. In this situation, a maximum potential difference will appear across resistance connected in a series of circuit. This result into zero output voltage across $p-n$ junction.
And when the diode is reverse biased during negative half cycle of $AC$ voltage, the $p-n$ junction is reverse biased. The resistance of $p-n$ junction becomes high which will be more than resistance in series. That is why, there will be voltage across $p-n$ junction with negative cycle in output, hence option $(c)$ is correct.

The $\beta$-decay process, discovered around $1900$ , is basically the decay of a neutron ( $n$ ), In the laboratory, a proton ( $p$ ) and an electron ( $e ^{-}$) are observed as the decay products of the neutron. therefore, considering the decay of a neutron as a tro-body dcay process, it was predicted theoretically that thekinetic energy of the electron should be a constant. But experimentally, it was observed that the electron kinetic energy has a continuous spectrum. Considering a three-body decay process, i.e. $n \rightarrow p+ e ^{-}+\bar{v}_{ e }$, around $1930,$ Pauli explained the observed electron energy spectrum. Assuming the anti-neutrino $\left(\bar{v}_{ e }\right)$ to be massless and possessing negligible energy, and neutron to be at rest, momentum and energy conservation principles are applied. From this calculation, the maximum kinetic energy of the lectron is $0.8 \times 10^6 eV$. The kinetic energy carried by the proton is only the recoil energy.

$1.$ What is the maximum energy of the anti-neutrino?

$(A)$ Zero

$(B)$ Much less than $0.8 \times 10^6 \ eV$

$(C)$ Nearly $0.8 \times 10^6 \ eV$

$(D)$ Much larger than $0.8 \times 10^6 \ eV$

$2.$ If the anti-neutrino had a mass of $3 eV / c ^2$ (where $c$ is the speed of light) instead of zero mass, what should be the range of the kinetic energy, $K$, of the electron?

$(B)$ $3.0 eV \leq K \leq 0.8 \times 10^6 \ eV$

$(C)$ $3.0 eV \leq K < 0.8 \times 10^6 \ eV$
