43. Assertion (A) : In common collector amplifier, voltage gain is greater than unity and this configuration is called as Emitter follower.

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions 71 to 75 :
Gunn effect is instrumental in the generation of microwave oscillations in bulk semiconductor material. The effect was exhibited by gallium arenide. The effect is a bulk property of semiconductors. If a small dc voltage is placed across a thin slice of germanium arsanide a negative resistance will manifest itself under certain conditions. The voltage gradient across the slice is increase of about 3300 v/cm, oscillations will then occur at microwave frequencies if the slice is connected to a suitably tuned circuit. The Gunn effect is independent of total voltage or current and is not effected by magnetic field, it occurs in n-type of materials only. The PIN diode consists of a narrow layer of ptype semiconductor separated from an equally narrow layer of n type material. In PIN diode silicon tend to be the main material. The PIN diode is used for microwave power switching, limiting and modulation.
