1What is the nominal resistance value of a 4-band resistor marked with color bands Yellow, Violet, Orange, and Gold?
A.47 kΩ ±5%
B.4.7 kΩ ±5%
C.470 kΩ ±10%
D.47 Ω ±5%
Explanation: In 4-band resistor color coding, Yellow represents 4, Violet represents 7, and Orange represents a multiplier of 10³ (1000), giving 47,000 Ω or 47 kΩ. The Gold band indicates a tolerance of ±5%.
2Which electronic component stores electrical energy in an electrostatic field created between two conducting plates separated by an insulating dielectric?
A.Inductor
B.Capacitor
C.Resistor
D.Transformer
Explanation: A capacitor consists of two conducting plates separated by a dielectric material. When a DC voltage is applied, equal and opposite charges accumulate on the plates, storing energy in the electrostatic field.
3Under which biasing condition does a standard silicon PN junction diode allow significant electric current to flow through it?
A.Reverse bias only
B.Zener breakdown bias
C.Forward bias
D.Zero bias condition
Explanation: In forward bias, the positive terminal of the DC power supply is connected to the P-type anode and the negative terminal to the N-type cathode. This reduces the internal depletion layer barrier, allowing majority carriers to cross and conduct current once forward voltage exceeds ~0.7V.
4What are the three physical terminals of a Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT)?
A.Anode, Cathode, Gate
B.Source, Drain, Gate
C.Primary, Secondary, Core
D.Emitter, Base, Collector
Explanation: A Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) has three terminals: Emitter (which emits charge carriers), Base (which controls carrier flow), and Collector (which collects charge carriers).
5Which passive component opposes any change in the electric current passing through it by storing energy in a magnetic field?
A.Inductor
B.Thermistor
C.Varistor
D.Capacitor
Explanation: An inductor generates a self-induced electromotive force (back EMF) according to Faraday's law when current changes, opposing the change in current by storing energy in its surrounding magnetic field.
6What is the primary function of a Zener diode when operated in its reverse breakdown region in an electronic circuit?
A.Current amplification
B.Voltage regulation
C.Light emission
D.Signal rectification
Explanation: A Zener diode is specifically designed with a heavily doped PN junction to operate safely in reverse breakdown mode, maintaining a nearly constant output voltage ($V_Z$) across its terminals despite variations in load current or input voltage.
7Two capacitors with values of 10 µF and 15 µF are connected in parallel. What is their equivalent total capacitance?
A.6 µF
B.12.5 µF
C.25 µF
D.150 µF
Explanation: When capacitors are connected in parallel, their total capacitance is the direct sum of individual capacitances: $C_{eq} = C_1 + C_2 = 10\,\mu ext{F} + 15\,\mu ext{F} = 25\,\mu ext{F}$.
8What is the resistance value and tolerance of a 4-band resistor with color code Brown, Black, Red, and Silver?
A.100 Ω ±5%
B.10 kΩ ±10%
C.1 kΩ ±5%
D.1 kΩ ±10%
Explanation: Brown = 1, Black = 0, Red = $10^2$ (100 multiplier), giving $10 imes 100 = 1000\,\Omega = 1\, ext{k}\Omega$. Silver indicates a tolerance of ±10%.
9Which specialized resistor exhibits a substantial drop in electrical resistance when exposed to increasing light intensity?
A.Light Dependent Resistor (LDR)
B.Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) Thermistor
C.Voltage Dependent Resistor (VDR)
D.Metal Film Resistor
Explanation: A Light Dependent Resistor (LDR), made of cadmium sulfide (CdS), decreases its resistance from several megohms in total darkness down to a few hundred ohms when illuminated with light.
10In an NPN bipolar junction transistor, what are the physical thickness and doping concentration characteristics of the Base region?
A.Thick and heavily doped
B.Thin and lightly doped
C.Thick and lightly doped
D.Thin and heavily doped
Explanation: The Base region of a BJT is fabricated very thin and lightly doped. This ensures that almost all charge carriers emitted from the Emitter pass straight through the Base to the Collector with minimal recombination.

About the WBBSE Madhyamik Electronics (Vocational) Exam

The WBBSE Madhyamik Vocational Electronics & Hardware (NSQF Level 2) syllabus equips Class 10 students with foundational skills in electronic technology. Key domains include identification and testing of passive components (resistors, capacitors, inductors) and active devices (diodes, BJTs, FETs), soldering standards, PCB assembly and desoldering techniques, operation of test instruments (analog/digital multimeters, cathode-ray oscilloscopes, signal generators), design and maintenance of AC-to-DC regulated power supplies and battery charging circuits, and systematic fault diagnosis of consumer electronic equipment. Note: This practice question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for the WBBSE Madhyamik Vocational Electronics examination.

Assessment

Madhyamik vocational subject - Electronics: 1-hour-45-minute theory paper in the Optional Elective sitting, with practical/skill assessment conducted by the Sector Skill Council or the school concerned.

Time Limit

Theory 1 hour 45 minutes; practical/skill assessment conducted by the Sector Skill Council or the school concerned

Passing Score

WBBSE reports each subject on a seven-point grade scale: AA 90-100, A+ 80-89, A 60-79, B+ 45-59, B 35-44, C 25-34 (marginal pass) and D below 25 (disqualified). Grade C is therefore the minimum subject grade and a D in any compulsory subject makes the overall result unsuccessful. Division bands are separate: 1st division 480+, 2nd 360+, 3rd 272+ out of 800.

Exam Fee

WBBSE does not publish a single per-candidate examination fee with the Madhyamik routine. Enrolment is made by the school online through wbbsedata.com within the Board's registration window, and the amount payable is set by the Board's enrolment circular for that session. Confirm the current figure with your school or the Board's notification rather than relying on a quoted estimate.
