Sample Tamil Nadu HSE First Year Basic Electronics Engineering Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Tamil Nadu HSE First Year Basic Electronics Engineering exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In intrinsic (pure) silicon at room temperature, free charge carriers arise mainly because:
A.All valence electrons are free at 0 K
B.Only holes exist without electrons
C.Thermal energy frees electron–hole pairs across the band gap
D.The crystal is permanently metallic
Explanation: In pure semiconductors, thermal generation creates equal numbers of electrons and holes that enable modest conductivity.
2Doping silicon with a Group V donor impurity (for example phosphorus) primarily creates:
A.A superconductor at room temperature
B.n-type material with majority electrons
C.p-type material with majority holes
D.A perfect insulator
Explanation: Donor (pentavalent) atoms contribute extra electrons, so majority carriers in n-type Si are electrons.
3Doping silicon with a Group III acceptor impurity (for example boron) primarily creates:
A.p-type material with majority holes
B.n-type material with majority electrons
C.An intrinsic semiconductor with zero carriers
D.A permanent short circuit
Explanation: Acceptor (trivalent) atoms create hole majority carriers, defining p-type silicon.
4In n-type silicon the minority carriers are primarily:
A.Electrons
B.Ions only
C.Photons
D.Holes
Explanation: In n-type material electrons are majority carriers and holes are minority carriers.
5A p–n junction diode is formed by:
A.Winding copper wire around iron
B.Placing two capacitors in series
C.Joining p-type and n-type semiconductor regions in intimate contact
D.Connecting two pure metals only
Explanation: A diode’s rectifying junction is the metallurgical boundary between p-type and n-type regions.
6In a silicon p–n diode under forward bias, the applied voltage:
A.Removes all charge carriers permanently
B.Reduces the potential barrier and allows significant forward current once above ~0.7 V typically
C.Always increases the barrier height
D.Forces reverse current only
Explanation: Forward bias lowers the barrier so majority carriers inject across the junction; Si typically conducts strongly near ~0.6–0.7 V.
7Under reverse bias a silicon diode ideally conducts:
A.Only a very small reverse saturation (leakage) current until breakdown
B.The same large current as in strong forward bias
C.Infinite current immediately at any reverse voltage
D.No current at any reverse voltage including breakdown
Explanation: Reverse bias widens the depletion region; only tiny reverse current flows until avalanche/Zener breakdown.
8The depletion region of a p–n junction contains mainly:
A.Only free electrons densely packed
B.Only free holes densely packed
C.Liquid electrolyte
D.Immobile ionized donor and acceptor charges with few free carriers
Explanation: Uncovered fixed ions create the space-charge (depletion) layer; free carriers are depleted there.
9A silicon diode is connected in series with a 100 Ω resistor and a 5 V DC source, anode toward the positive terminal (forward). Approximate current if V_F ≈ 0.7 V is:
A.5 mA
B.70 mA
C.43 mA
D.50 mA
Explanation: I ≈ (V_S − V_F)/R = (5 − 0.7)/100 = 4.3/100 = 0.043 A = 43 mA.
10An LED (light-emitting diode) emits light primarily when:
A.It is used only as a variable resistor
B.It is forward biased and recombination of carriers releases photons
C.It is reverse biased below breakdown
D.No current flows through it
Explanation: Forward current injects carriers; radiative recombination in the junction produces light.
