Basic Electronics Questions

Basic Introduction Questions

1. What is an ideal voltage  source?

Answer:  Ideal voltage source is defined as the energy source which gives constant voltage across its terminals irrespective of the current drawn through its terminals.

In other words the voltage source (D.C or A.C) will be called ‘ideal’.                        

2. What is an ideal current source?

Answer: 

  • Ideal current source is the source which gives constant current an its terminals irrespective of the voltage appearing across its terminals.
  • Ideal current source is the source which supplies a constant current to a load even if  its impedance varies.

3. What is a practical voltage source?

Answer: A practical voltage source is that which has very low internal resistance(or impedance) as compared to load resistance (or impedance).

4. What is a practical current source?

Answer:  In most applications, ideal source are approximation. The internal resistance Rin of a voltage source, which responsible for a drop in terminal voltage of a source on load is quite small in comparison to the load resistance of a network connected across the voltage source. 

5. The voltage out of an ideal voltage source is

Answer: High voltage and low current.

11. What is a Clipper?

Answer: 

  •  A wave shaping circuit which controls the shape of output waveform by removing a portion of the applied wave is known as clipping.
  • For a clipping circuit at least one resistance and one diode is required.

12. What is a Clamper?

Answer: A clamping circuit is a device that ‘clamps’ a signal to a different DC level. A clamping circuit must have a diode, a resistance and a capacitor, an independent DC supply is also required to introduce an additional shift.
