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. 1000-5000
B. 0.1-1
C. 20-200
D. 1-10
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
A spring of spring constant k is cut into four equal parts. The spring constant of each part is
A. k/4
B. k
C. 2k
D. 4k

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
For a spring, k ∝ 1/length. So quarter length has 4 times k. Each part has constant 4k.

Question #2
The boiling point of water at high altitude is lower because
A. Temperature is lower
B. Atmospheric pressure is higher
C. Gravity is less
D. Atmospheric pressure is lower

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Boiling occurs when vapour pressure equals atmospheric pressure. At high altitude, atmospheric pressure is lower, so water boils at lower temperature. Pressure cooker increases pressure to raise boiling point for faster cooking.

Question #3
The time period of a geostationary satellite is:
A. 365 days
B. 27.3 days
C. 12 hours
D. 24 hours

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
A geostationary satellite orbits the Earth directly over the equator at an altitude of ~35,786 km. It revolves in the same direction the Earth rotates. Its orbital period perfectly matches Earth's rotational period, which is 24 hours. Because of this, it appears entirely stationary from any point on Earth's surface, making it ideal for communications and DTH TV.
