How to Crack the Paper
The examination consists of three parts:
Viva-Voce:
General questions from the lab are asked such as how to use the multimeter to measure capacitance. Each group's viva can go on to roughly 15 minutes and questions are mostly asked on different topic to each member of the group. The questions are according to experiments and, in worst cases, there could be cross questioning from the experiment your partner is being asked from. Below are some example questions:
- What is a low pass filter and a high pass filter?
- Draw the circuit for high pass filter with RC and RL components? Also draw the graph for it's characteristics.
- What is 3dB cutoff frequency? Write the equation.
- Draw the adder circuit.
- Draw the circuit for inverting Op-Amp configuration.
- Why common emmiter configuration is used as amplifier?
- Cause of Early effect.
- Draw the input output characteristics of C-E amplifier.
- What is the need to study signal handling capacity of C-E amplifier?
CIC Lab Test:
A lab test is done in CIC soon after the viva for all the students taking the course. The test consisted of 25 questions (Autumn 2018) of normal difficulty and were do-able with just reading the lab manual and understanding the concepts.
Lab Test:
In the lab test, one member from each group is called first with the lab manual, and they are asked to perform some part of an experiment. It is followed by the same procedure for the next member. The student is supposed to perform some part(s) of the experiment and the following is provided:
- Detailed objective for each part (NO PROCEDURE IS PROVIDED). E.g. Find signal handling capacity for the given circuit when load resistance is infinite and resistance across emitter is bypassed (from CE Amplifier experiment).
- A diagram (specifically of the parts to be performed) of the circuit is provided.
