Sample Karnataka II PUC Electronics (KSEAB) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Karnataka II PUC Electronics (KSEAB) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In a junction field-effect transistor (JFET), the current between drain and source is primarily controlled by:
A.The gate-to-source voltage
B.The base current
C.The collector current
D.The emitter resistance only
Explanation: A JFET is a voltage-controlled device. The reverse-biased gate–channel junction modulates channel width (and thus channel conductivity), so drain–source current is controlled mainly by VGS.
2Compared with a bipolar junction transistor (BJT), a major advantage of a JFET is its:
A.Much lower input impedance
B.Very high input impedance
C.Need for large continuous base current
D.Inability to operate as a voltage amplifier
Explanation: The JFET gate is reverse-biased (essentially drawing negligible DC gate current), so input impedance is very high compared with a BJT’s base input.
3The three terminals of an n-channel JFET are:
A.Base, collector and emitter
B.Anode, cathode and gate only as in an SCR
C.Gate, drain and source
D.Plate, grid and cathode only as in a vacuum triode
Explanation: An n-channel JFET has gate (control), drain and source terminals. Base/collector/emitter are BJT terminals.
4Pinch-off voltage VP of a JFET is the gate-to-source voltage at which, for a given drain–source voltage in the saturation description,
A.The gate is forward-biased into heavy conduction
B.Drain current becomes infinite
C.The device turns into a pure short circuit between drain and source
D.The channel is effectively pinched and ID becomes nearly independent of further VDS increase (saturation behaviour)
Explanation: At pinch-off, the depletion regions close the channel enough that ID saturates (approximately constant with VDS in the active/saturation region description used in textbooks).
5The drain current of an n-channel JFET in the saturation (pinch-off) region is often modelled as ID = IDSS(1 − VGS/VP)². If IDSS = 8 mA and VP = −4 V, the drain current at VGS = −2 V is approximately:
A.2 mA
B.4 mA
C.6 mA
D.8 mA
Explanation: ID = 8(1 − (−2)/(−4))² mA = 8(1 − 0.5)² = 8(0.5)² = 8(0.25) = 2 mA.
6In an n-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET, a conducting inversion channel forms when:
A.VGS is always zero
B.VGS exceeds the positive threshold voltage VT
C.The gate is reverse-biased like a JFET p–n junction gate
D.Drain and source are shorted externally
Explanation: Enhancement n-MOSFETs are off at VGS = 0. Applying VGS > VT (positive for n-channel) creates an n-type inversion layer connecting source and drain.
7The parameter gm (transconductance) of a FET is defined as:
A.gm = ∂VGS/∂ID only
B.gm = VDS/ID
C.gm = ∂ID/∂VGS (at constant VDS)
D.gm = ID × VGS
Explanation: Transconductance quantifies how much drain current changes for a change in gate–source voltage at fixed drain–source voltage: gm = ∂ID/∂VGS|VDS constant.
8Which statement correctly compares JFET and MOSFET gate structures?
A.Both always use a forward-biased p–n gate junction
B.A JFET gate is oxide-insulated while a MOSFET gate is a p–n junction
C.Neither device has a gate terminal
D.A MOSFET gate is insulated by an oxide layer; a JFET gate is a reverse-biased p–n junction
Explanation: JFET control is by a reverse-biased gate–channel junction. MOSFET control is through an insulated gate (metal–oxide–semiconductor stack), yielding extremely high DC input resistance.
9The main purpose of DC biasing a BJT amplifier is to:
A.Establish a stable quiescent operating point (Q-point) in the active region
B.Remove the need for any power supply
C.Force the transistor permanently into cutoff only
D.Convert the BJT into a pure AC generator with no DC
Explanation: Biasing sets collector current and VCE so the transistor sits at a designed Q-point, allowing linear amplification of AC signals without clipping.
10In the common relation IC = βIB for an NPN BJT in the active region, if β = 100 and IB = 20 μA, IC is:
A.0.2 mA
B.2 mA
C.20 mA
D.200 μA
Explanation: IC = βIB = 100 × 20 μA = 2000 μA = 2 mA.

About the Karnataka II PUC Electronics (KSEAB) Exam

Karnataka II PUC Electronics is the Class 12 Pre-University public examination electronics paper under the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB), subject code 40. It assesses DPUE/KSEAB II PUC Electronics: field-effect transistors; BJT biasing; transistor amplifiers; feedback; operational amplifiers; oscillators; wireless communications; modulation and demodulation; power electronics; digital electronics (codes, Boolean, sequential logic); microcontrollers; introductory C programming; and modern communication systems. The official assessment is commonly ~70 marks theory (mixed objective-style and short/long answers, about 3 hours 15 minutes) plus ~30 marks practical. Fees and exact blueprints are notified by KSEAB / DPUE (kseab.karnataka.gov.in; dpue-exam.karnataka.gov.in). Pass marks are commonly described near ~35% overall with separate theory/practical floors as notified. The 100 questions on this page are a free English-language multiple-choice study adaptation with explanations and multi-step calculation practice (gain, binary conversion, AM index, LC frequency, line Z0, etc.); they are not a full simulation of the official mixed theory paper or practical exam.

Exam sponsor: Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Official KSEAB II PUC Electronics (code 40) is assessed as approximately 70 marks theory and 30 marks practical (total 100). Theory is a mixed written paper lasting about 3 hours 15 minutes (commonly including reading time), with Part A–D style questions per the KSEAB/DPUE Electronics blueprint (Field Effect Transistor; BJT Biasing; Transistor Amplifiers; Feedback in Amplifiers; Operational Amplifier; Oscillators; Wireless Communications; Modulation and Demodulation; Power Electronics; Digital Electronics; Microcontroller; C Programming; Modern Communication Systems). English and Kannada media are typically available. Exact theory–practical splits and attempt rules are as published for the year — confirm circulars on kseab.karnataka.gov.in and dpue-exam.karnataka.gov.in. This practice bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for concept and calculation fluency — it does not simulate official attempt limits, long derivations, circuit drawing, or practical examinations.

Time Limit

About 3 hours 15 minutes (theory; often includes 15 minutes reading time)

Passing Score

Commonly reported as about 35% overall in the subject, with separate theory and practical minima often described near ~24/70 and ~11/30 (about 30–35% careful range depending on circular wording); verify the current pass criteria for your examination year.

Exam / Certification Fees

As notified by KSEAB and paid through PU colleges for regular II PUC sittings (no single fixed public subject fee for all categories).

Karnataka II PUC Electronics (KSEAB): Suggested Study Strategy

1Practice official KSEAB/DPUE Electronics (code 40) model papers under timed ~3 h 15 m conditions so you can switch from MCQ drills to written 2-, 3-, and 5-mark answers with circuit diagrams.
2For numericals, write the formula first (IC = βIB, Av = −Rf/Rin, ma = Vm/Vc, f = 1/(2π√LC), binary place values), substitute SI units, and show intermediate steps — boards often require detailed solutions.
3Memorize CE/CB/CC comparison tables, amplifier class conduction angles, and superhet block order; many lost marks come from configuration mix-ups.
4Build a one-page formula/truth-table sheet for FET parameters, feedback Af, op-amp gains, AM/FM, Boolean identities, and binary conversions; revise it weekly before annual exams.
5Do not neglect practicals: device characteristics, amplifier/logic experiments, and viva concepts contribute ~30 marks.
6Use English/Kannada textbooks as directed by your college; this free bank is an English MCQ adaptation only.
