Question 3 Explanation: 


Given that, V and J have same phase. So, the circuit is in resonance.
At resonance,
\begin{aligned} &V_{C}=Q V_{R}\\ &\text { So, } \frac{\text { Amplitude of } V_{C}}{\text { Amplitude of } V_{R}}=Q=\frac{1}{R} \sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}=\frac{1}{5} \sqrt{\frac{5}{5}}=0.2 \end{aligned}
Question 4

Question 4 Explanation: 
In a DRAM, data is stored in the form of charge on capacitor and periodic refreshing is needed to restore the charge on capacitor.
Question 5
Consider an n-channel MOSFET having width W, length L, electron mobility in the channel \mu_{n} and oxide capacitance per unit area C_{ox}. If gate-to-source voltage V_{GS}=0.7V, drain-tosource voltage V_{DS}=0.1V,(\mu_{n}C_{ox})=100\mu A/V^{2},threshold voltage V_{TH}=0.3 V and (W/L)=50,then the transconductance g_{m}(in mA/V) is ___________.
A

B
0.5
C
0.6
D
0.7

Question 5 Explanation: 
Given that,
\begin{aligned} V_{G S} &=0.7 \mathrm{V}, V_{T H}=0.3 \mathrm{V}, V_{D S}=0.1 \mathrm{V} \\ V_{G S}-V_{T H} &=0.4>V_{D S} \end{aligned}
\Rightarrow MOSFET is in linear region
In linear region,
I_{D}=K_{n}\left[2\left(V_{G S}-V_{T H}\right) V_{O S}-V_{D S}^{2}\right]
Transconductance
\begin{aligned} g_{m}&=\frac{\partial I_{D}}{\partial V_{G S}}=2 K_{n} V_{D S} \\ K_{n}&=\frac{K_{n}}{2}\left(\frac{W}{L}\right)=\frac{\mu_{n} C_{O x}}{2}\left(\frac{W}{L}\right)\\ \text{So,}\quad g_{m} &=2 K_{n} V_{D S}=\mu_{n} C_{O x}\left(\frac{W}{L}\right) V_{D S} \\ &=100 \times 50 \times 0.1 \mu \mathrm{A} / \mathrm{V} \\ &=0.5 \mathrm{mA} N \end{aligned}
