Transistor current gain β = I_C/I_B. Typical value range: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Transistor current gain β = I_C/I_B. Typical value range:
A. 1-10
B. 0.1-1
C. 20-200
D. 1000-5000
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
BJT common-emitter current gain β typically 20-200. Small base current controls larger collector current. Memory aid: 'β = collector/base current ratio; value 20-200 for standard transistors'. Electronics parameter frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
Nuclear reactor moderator function:
A. Slow neutrons
B. Absorb neutrons
C. Emit neutrons
D. Shield radiation

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Moderator (water, graphite) slows fast neutrons to thermal energies for efficient fission in U-235. Control rods absorb neutrons to regulate reaction. Memory tip: 'Moderator = neutron slower; Control rods = neutron absorber'. Reactor component function frequently tested in competitive nuclear physics questions.

Question #2
The dimensions of surface tension are the same as that of:
A. Spring constant
B. Pressure
C. Viscosity
D. Force

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Surface tension is defined as Force per unit length (F/L). Dimensional formula: [MLT⁻²] / [L] = [MT⁻²]. A spring constant (k) is defined by Hooke's Law as Force per unit extension (F/x), which also has dimensions [MLT⁻²] / [L] = [MT⁻²]. Thus, both share the same dimensional formula.

Question #3
Two resistance wires of same material and same length have diameters in ratio 2:1. Their resistances are in ratio
A. 1:4
B. 4:1
C. 2:1
D. 1:2

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
R ∝ L/A ∝ 1/d². So R₁/R₂ = (d₂/d₁)² = (1/2)² = 1/4 = 1:4.
