1In an ideal operational amplifier circuit configured as an inverting amplifier with the non-inverting terminal (+) connected to ground (0 V), what is the potential at the inverting terminal (−) when operating in the linear regime?
A.0 V (Virtual Ground)
B.+Vcc (Positive supply rail)
C.-Vee (Negative supply rail)
D.Half of the input voltage
Explanation: Because an ideal operational amplifier possesses infinite open-loop voltage gain (Aod → ∞) and operates with negative feedback in the linear regime, the differential input voltage ε = V+ − V− equals 0 V. Since the non-inverting terminal V+ is tied directly to 0 V ground, the inverting terminal V− is maintained at 0 V, forming a virtual ground (masse virtuelle). No current enters the inverting terminal due to infinite input impedance.
2What is the closed-loop voltage gain Av = Vout / Vin for an ideal inverting operational amplifier circuit with input resistor R1 and feedback resistor Rf?
A.Av = 1 + (Rf / R1)
B.Av = - (Rf / R1)
C.Av = - (R1 / Rf)
D.Av = Rf / (R1 + Rf)
Explanation: Applying Kirchhoff's current law at the virtual ground inverting node gives (Vin − 0)/R1 + (Vout − 0)/Rf = 0. Solving for Vout yields Vout = −(Rf / R1) * Vin, which means the voltage gain is Av = −(Rf / R1). The negative sign indicates a 180-degree phase shift between input and output.
3A non-inverting operational amplifier has an input resistor R1 = 10 kΩ and a feedback resistor Rf = 90 kΩ. If a DC input voltage of Vin = +0.5 V is applied, what is the output voltage Vout?
A.+4.5 V
B.-4.5 V
C.+5.0 V
D.+0.5 V
Explanation: The voltage gain of a non-inverting operational amplifier is Av = 1 + (Rf / R1). Substituting the resistor values gives Av = 1 + (90 kΩ / 10 kΩ) = 1 + 9 = 10. The output voltage is Vout = Av * Vin = 10 * 0.5 V = +5.0 V.
4A first-order active low-pass filter uses a resistor R = 10 kΩ and a capacitor C = 15.9 nF in its feedback network. What is the -3 dB cutoff frequency fc of this filter?
A.100 Hz
B.10 kHz
C.15.9 kHz
D.1.0 kHz
Explanation: The cutoff frequency for a first-order low-pass RC network is given by fc = 1 / (2 * π * R * C). Substituting the values: fc = 1 / (2 * 3.14159 * 10,000 Ω * 15.9 * 10^-9 F) = 1 / (9.99 * 10^-4) ≈ 1000 Hz = 1.0 kHz.
5What is the high-frequency asymptotic roll-off rate (slope) of the Bode gain magnitude plot for a second-order Sallen-Key low-pass active filter?
A.-12 dB/octave (-40 dB/decade)
B.-6 dB/octave (-20 dB/decade)
C.-18 dB/octave (-60 dB/decade)
D.-24 dB/octave (-80 dB/decade)
Explanation: Each pole in an electronic filter contributes an asymptotic attenuation roll-off of -20 dB/decade (equivalent to -6 dB/octave) in the stopband. A second-order Sallen-Key filter has two conjugate complex poles in its transfer function denominator, producing a total roll-off rate of -40 dB/decade (-12 dB/octave).
6In what operational region must a Zener diode be biased to function properly as a DC voltage reference/regulator?
A.Forward conduction region (Vd ≈ +0.7 V)
B.Reverse breakdown (Zener avalanche) region
C.Reverse leakage cutoff region below Vz
D.Saturation region with negative resistance
Explanation: A Zener diode is specially designed to operate in its reverse breakdown region (zone de claquage inverse). In this region, once the reverse voltage reaches Vz, the voltage across the diode remains virtually constant over a wide range of reverse currents Iz, providing effective voltage stabilization.
7For an NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) in a common-emitter amplifier circuit with supply Vcc, collector resistor Rc, and emitter resistor Re, what is the slope of the DC load line on the Ic vs Vce output characteristics?
A.- (Rc + Re)
B.- 1 / Rc
C.- 1 / (Rc + Re)
D.+ (Rc / Re)
Explanation: Applying Kirchhoff's voltage law around the collector-emitter loop yields Vcc = Vce + Ic * Rc + Ie * Re. Approximating Ie ≈ Ic, this becomes Vcc = Vce + Ic * (Rc + Re), which rearranges to Ic = −[1 / (Rc + Re)] * Vce + Vcc / (Rc + Re). Plotting Ic versus Vce gives a straight line with a negative slope of −1 / (Rc + Re).
8What is the primary condition required for an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET (NMOS) to conduct drain current Id?
A.Vgs must be zero and Vds must be negative
B.Vgs must be negative and less than -Vth
C.The gate terminal must draw a continuous DC current of at least 10 mA
D.Vgs must be positive and strictly greater than the threshold voltage Vth (Vgs > Vth)
Explanation: An enhancement-mode NMOS transistor is normally off when Vgs = 0 because no conductive inversion channel exists between drain and source. Applying a positive gate-to-source voltage greater than the threshold voltage (Vgs > Vth) attracts electrons beneath the gate oxide, forming an n-type conductive channel that allows drain current Id to flow.
9An inverting Schmitt trigger comparator uses an operational amplifier with saturation voltages ±Vsat = ±12 V, feedback resistor R2 = 100 kΩ from output to non-inverting terminal, and ground resistor R1 = 20 kΩ. What is the hysteresis voltage width (ΔVH = Vth+ − Vth−)?
A.4.0 V
B.2.0 V
C.2.4 V
D.4.8 V
Explanation: The upper and lower threshold voltages are determined by the voltage divider formed by R1 and R2 connected to the saturated output: Vth+ = +Vsat * R1 / (R1 + R2) = +12 V * 20 kΩ / (20 kΩ + 100 kΩ) = +12 * (20/120) = +2.0 V. The lower threshold is Vth− = −Vsat * R1 / (R1 + R2) = −2.0 V. The total hysteresis width is ΔVH = Vth+ − Vth− = +2.0 V − (−2.0 V) = 4.0 V.
10When an AC sinusoidal mains voltage of frequency f = 50 Hz is applied to a full-wave bridge rectifier (Pont de Graetz), what is the fundamental ripple frequency of the rectified unfiltered output voltage?
A.50 Hz
B.100 Hz
C.25 Hz
D.200 Hz
Explanation: A full-wave bridge rectifier conducts on both the positive and negative half-cycles of the input sine wave, inverting the negative half-cycles so that two output pulses occur for every one complete input cycle. Therefore, the output ripple frequency is double the input frequency: f_ripple = 2 * f_in = 2 * 50 Hz = 100 Hz.

About the Bac F2 Bénin Exam

The Baccalauréat Série F2 (Électronique) is Benin's technical secondary school leaving diploma in electronics engineering, organized by the Office du Baccalauréat du Bénin (OBB) under the Ministère de l'Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche Scientifique (MESRS). Taught at technical lycées such as the Lycée Technique Coulibaly in Cotonou and other regional technical centers, Série F2 focuses on analog and digital electronic system design, laboratory measurement and testing, printed circuit board (PCB) prototyping and soldering, embedded microcontrollers, and electronic packaging. The official examination is administered in French and heavily emphasizes practical laboratory competencies (carrying 9 out of 22 first-group coefficients), alongside demanding written examinations and a comprehensive second-group oral. This practice bank provides 100 English-language multiple-choice questions covering technical system analysis, lab instrumentation, prototyping, embedded programming, mechanical packaging, physics, mathematics, and oral subjects. Because substantial weight rests on hands-on workshop performance, these MCQs reinforce core engineering concepts, diagnostic logic, formulas, and safety protocols but cannot certify manual bench skills.
