Correct Option: A
Explanation:

For the Zener diode shown in the figure, the Zener voltage at the knee is 7 V. The knee current is negligible and the Zener dynamic resistance is 10 $\Omega$. If the input voltage (Vi) ranges from 10 V to 16 V, what will be the range of out put voltage (V0)?

  1. 7.00 V to 7.29 V

  2. 7.14 V to 7.29 V

  3. 7.14 V to 7.43 V

  4. 7.29 V to 7.43 V


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In an ideal differential amplifier shown in figure, a large value of RE

  1. increases both the differential and common-mode gains

  2. increases the common-mode gain only

  3. decreases the differential mode gain only

  4. decreases the common-mode gain only


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Common mode gain

$$ A_{CM} = -\dfrac{R_C}{2R_E}$$

And differential mode gain

$$A_{DM} = - g_m R_C$$

Thus only common mode gain depends on $R_E$ and for large value of $R_E$ it decreases.
