Transistors is a Class 12 chapter in the Physics section of the MHT CET for candidates who are preparing for the PCM (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics).

The key topics covered in Transistors PYQs are:

  • n-p-n and p-n-p transistors
  • Doping of emitter, base and collector
  • Common emitter configuration
  • Current gain α and β
  • Voltage and power gain of an amplifier

Practising Transistors MHT CET PYQ helps candidates to understand question pattern, improve calculation speed, and identify concepts which were asked in previous exams.

Based on chapter-wise analysis of the MHT CET Physics paper, you can get about 1 mark per paper by covering Transistors. The chapter recorded 41 questions across the 80 shifts in the data, and 22 of them came in the 2025 and 2026 papers, where it contributed about 1.3% per shift.

Question Style in MHT CET Transistors PYQs

Every question in this PDF is a single-correct MCQ. Most of them (33 of 41) are short numerical questions on the common emitter amplifier.

Question StyleWhat it Tests
Current and voltage gainA common emitter amplifier with an AC current gain of 65, a given load resistance and input resistance, and the voltage gain
Base and collector currentsAn n-p-n transistor with a collector current of 28 mA when 80% of the electrons reach the collector, and the base current
Power gainThe ratio of power gain to voltage gain in common emitter configuration
α and β relationsThe current gain when I_C / I_E = 0.95, and β from α = 0.98
DopingWhich of the emitter, base and collector is heavily doped and which is lightly doped

How to Use the Transistors PYQ PDF for MHT CET

  • Start with the 2025 and 2026 papers first, because they hold 22 of the 41 questions.
  • Keep α = Ic/Ie, β = Ic/Ib, Ie = Ib + Ic and the gain formulas for the common emitter amplifier on one page.
  • For the electron-count questions, convert the percentage of electrons reaching the collector into Ic/Ie first.
  • Solve year-wise PYQs by timing yourself, as time management is crucial.
  • Re-attempt only the questions you got wrong, and note which formula or step you missed.
