, Ans > One stable state, it is triggered
8. A bistable multivibrator has..
Ans > Two stable states, it is triggered
9. A stable state is...
Ans > A steady condition(output stays the same)
10. What happens when power is applied in an Astable Multivibrator?
Ans > Q1 and Q2
switch between on or off.
11. What happens to Q1 and Q2 in a monostable multivibrator?
Ans > Q2 is on, Input pulse causes Q2 to turn off and Q1 to turn on
12. A transistor in a multivibrator is on in
Ans > Saturation
13. A transistor in a multivibrator is off in
Ans > Cut off
14. What happens to Q1 and Q2 in a bistable multivibrator?
Ans > Either Q1 or Q2 could be on,
input pulse causes either to turn off and the other to turn on.
