Circuit Debugging Round-II
1. What is wrong with this diode?
A. open
B. short
C. nothing
D. not enough data
Diode is in revers biased and hence reflecting the resistance in Megohm. It is normal behavior of a
diode, nothing is wrong with Diode. So answer should be [C] nothing.
2. In the given circuit, what type of failure will cause the voltage at point B to equal the voltage at point
C?
A. R1 shorts
B. R2 shorts
C. R3 shorts

D. R2 opens
Answer: Option B
The total current in circuit is i=28/10kohm=2.8ma.
From nodal analysis (Vb-Vc)/R2=2.8ma for Vb=Vc R2 must be zero.
Hence R2 is short circuited.
3. Which circuit is known as a current-to-voltage converter?
a) (a) b) (b) c) (c) d) (d)
Basic op-amp with feedback resistance itself called current to Voltage converter.
4. Which element dictates the maximum level of source voltage?
a) VZ b) IZM c) IZ d)None of these
For maximum Zener current IZM the drop across RL is high which also related to maximum source
voltage.
