Options:
a. A, B and C
b. All are true
c. B, C, D
d. C, D

[2] which of the following statements are true about BJT?

a. All are true
b. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
c. (i), (iii) and (iv)
d. (ii), (iii) and (iv)

[3] For a JFET, when VDS is increased beyond the pinch off voltage, the drain current
a. Increases
b. Decreases
c. Remains constant
d. First decreases and then increases

[4] n-channel FETs are superior to P-channel FETs, because
a. They have higher input impedance
b. They have high switching time
c. They consume less power
d.  Mobility of electrons is greater than that of holes

[5] Which of the following is true about the diodes
a. During forward biased small amount of voltage drop will appear across anode and cathode
