a) 1/α
b) 1/β
c) β2/α2
d) α2/β2
View Answer
Explanation: Power dissipation per unit area Pa is scaled by α2/β2. This is given by Pg/Ag where Pg is scaled by 1/β2 and Ag by 1/α2.
10. In constant voltage model, the saturation current is scaled by
a) α
b) β
c) 1
d) β2
View Answer
Explanation: Saturation current is scaled by 1 in constant voltage model. This is because saturation current is scaled by 1/β and here in constant voltage model β is 1.
11. In constant field model, maximum operationg frequency is scaled by
a) α
b) β
c) α2
d) β2
View Answer
Explanation: In constant field model, maximum operating frequency is scaled by α. Maximum operating frequency is scaled by α2/β and here in this model β = α.
12. In constant electric field model, power dissipation per unit area is scaled by
a) α
b) β
c) 1
d) β2
View Answer
Explanation: Power dissipation per unit area is scaled by 1 in constant electric field model. This is scaled by α2/β2 and here in constant electric field model β = α.
