Short circuit evaluation is deciding the value of a compound Boolean expression after evaluating only one sub expression.

MULTIPLE ANSWER PROBLEM: Mark two answers corresponding to C1 and C2A half-wave rectifier has 60 Hz input signal and the input voltage to rectifier is at 8.5V rms. Ignore the voltage drop across the diode. Assuming the load resistance is 10 kOhms, determine the required capacitance value C1 to limit the ripple value to 0.1V. Choose the value closest the what you have found. What is the new capacitance value required if the frequency is doubled (e.g. C2) for the same ripple amount and load resistor?  NOTE THAT THIS IS FOR A HALFWAVE RECTIFIER, USE CORRECT FORMULA!

MULTIPLE ANSWER PROBLEM: Select 2 choices corresponding to Rs and VDS Referring to the circuit below, design the resistor Rs such that VD=1.5 Volts. Also, determine the value of VDS. Select the two options from the choices below that are closest to your results.  Take Kn=0.4 mA/V2 and VTN=1.7 V   NMOS.jpg

For the amplifier shown, take VTP= -0.8V, Kp=0.35 mA/V2. What is the value of source-drain voltage VSD? Choose the answer that is closest to what you found. pmos amp.jpg

When destructive interference occurs, the phase difference between two waves may be 5 pi.

Young’s double slit experiment proves that light contains photons with certain energy.

A laser beam with a radius of r hits an interface with an incident angle of theta i and gets refracted with an angle of refraction of theta t. The cross section of the refracted beam vs. the incident beam is cos (theta t)/cos (theta i).

In the double-slit experiment, if the distance of the two slits decreases, the bright fringes will all become closer.

One prefers to choose materials with strong absorption to fabricate a dielectric mirror so that the transmitted light can be minimized.

An unpolarized beam gets 50% reflection at an air-glass interface if the incident angle of the beam is at the Brewster angle.
