A bistable multivibrator has... - CORRECT ANSWER Two stable states, it is triggered
A stable state is... - CORRECT ANSWER A steady condition(output stays the same)
What happens when power is applied in an Astable Multivibrator? - CORRECT ANSWER Q1
and Q2 switch between on or off.
What happens to Q1 and Q2 in a monostable multivibrator? - CORRECT ANSWER Q2 is on,
Input pulse causes Q2 to turn off and Q1 to turn on
, A transistor in a multivibrator is on in ____________ - CORRECT ANSWER Saturation
