MCQ
Transfer characteristics $[$ output voltage $(V_o)$ vs input voltage $(V_i)]$ for a base biased transistor in $CE$ configuration is as shown in the figure. For using transistor as a switch, it is used 
  • A
    in region $III$
  • both in region $I \& III$
  • C
    in region $II$
  • D
    in region $I$

Answer

Correct option: B.
both in region $I \& III$
b
In the given graph,

Region $(I)$ - Cutoff region

Region $(II)$ - Active region

Region $(III)$ -Saturation region

Using transistor as a switch it is used in cutoff region or saturation region.

Using transistor as a amplifier it is used in active region.

Three rods of identical cross-section and lengths are made of three different materials of thermal conductivity $K _{1}, K _{2},$ and $K _{3}$, respectively. They are joined together at their ends to make a long rod (see figure). One end of the long rod is maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and the ther at $0^{\circ} C$ (see figure). If the joints of the rod are at  $70^{\circ} C$ and $20^{\circ} C$ in steady state and there is no loss of energy from the surface of the rod, the correct relationship between $K _{1}, K _{2}$ and $K _{3}$ is
