Question

The compensation technique uses __________

(a) transformers

(b) inductors

(c) diodes

(d) capacitors

This question was addressed to me in a national level competition.

The above asked question is from Thermistor and Sensistor Compensation in division Transistor Biasing and Thermal Stabilization of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer 1

The correct option is (c) diodes

Best explanation: Compensation techniques require the use of temperature sensitive devices such as thermistors, diodes, transistors, sensistors etc to compensate variation in currents. However, for excellent bias and thermal stabilization, both stabilization and compensation techniques are used.
