A.4 V B.60 V C.15 V D.0.25 V
Ans:E=QV V=E/Q=60/15=4V
2. Calculate the voltage at point B in the given circuit.

A. +10.48 V
B. +0.94 V
C. +2.6 V
D. -3 V
Ans: Here V2=12V and V1=9V (V2>V1) so current flow from V2 to V1
I=Veff/Rtot
Veff=V2-V1 (V1&V2 opposite to each other & V2>V1)
Veff=12-9=3V
Rtot= R1+R2+R3+R4=150kOhms
I=3/150 x10-3=0.02x10-3 A
VB = V2 - (VR3+VR4)
VB = V2 - .02x10-3(R3+R4) (Since current is equal in series circuit)
VB = 12 - 0.02x10-3x76x103
VB = 12-1.52
VB = 10.48 V
Why R1 and R2 are not considered for voltgae drop because no current from V1 to V2

20. Refer to this figure. The value of VBC is:

A. 9.2 V
B. 9.9 V
C. 9.9 V
D. 9.2 V
Ans: Vbc=Vbe-Vce
So, first find out base current by kirchoff's loop law in input side .
Then collector current by Ic=b*Ib;
Now output kirchoff's current law at the output give value of Vce= 9.895;
Now Vcb = 0.7-9.895 = -9.195.
