Explain the difference between fixed resistors and variable resistors.
Fixed resistors have a constant resistance value, whereas variable resistors can change their resistance value.
Fixed resistors have a higher power rating than variable resistors.
Fixed resistors are used in AC circuits, while variable resistors are used in DC circuits.
Fixed resistors are larger in size compared to variable resistors.
What is the function of a capacitor in a circuit?
Absorbs light in a circuit
Stores and releases electrical energy in a circuit

What happens to a capacitor in a DC circuit?
It has no effect on the circuit
It decreases the voltage of the source
It charges up to the voltage of the source and blocks the flow of direct current.
It increases the flow of direct current
What is the role of a diode in a circuit?
A diode regulates voltage in a circuit
A diode allows current to flow in one direction only and blocks it in the opposite direction.
A diode increases resistance in a circuit
A diode allows current to flow in both directions
Describe the forward bias and reverse bias of a diode.
Forward bias allows current to flow through the diode, while reverse bias blocks current flow.
Forward bias blocks current flow, while reverse bias allows current to flow through the diode.
Forward bias causes the diode to emit light, while reverse bias causes it to absorb light.
Forward bias increases resistance, while reverse bias decreases resistance.
What are the different types of diodes?
Rectifier Diode, Zener Diode, LED, Schottky Diode, Tunnel Diode, Varactor Diode, Photodiode, PIN Diode
Mega Diode
Nano Diode
Pico Diode
Explain the concept of transistor amplification.
Transistor amplification is the process of reducing the strength of a signal using a transistor.
Transistor amplification involves converting digital signals into analog signals.
Transistor amplification involves using a transistor to increase the strength of a weak input signal to a higher output signal.
Transistor amplification is only applicable to mechanical devices, not electronic components.
What are the three regions of operation in a transistor?
boost
cutoff, active, saturation
linear
overdrive
How does a transistor act as a switch?
By adjusting the size of the transistor
By increasing the weight of the transistor
By controlling the flow of current based on the voltage applied to the base terminal.
By changing the color of the transistor
What is the difference between AC and DC circuits?
The color of the wires used
The main difference between AC and DC circuits is the type of current they use.
The temperature at which they operate
The size of the circuit components
How does a capacitor behave in an AC circuit?
Capacitor behaves as a constant resistance in an AC circuit.
Capacitor behaves as a voltage source in an AC circuit.
Capacitor behaves as an inductor in an AC circuit.
Capacitor behaves as a frequency-dependent element that blocks DC current and allows AC current to pass through, causing a phase shift.
