Description : State 2 advantages of JFET over BJT.

Last Answer : Advantages of JFET over BJT: 1) High input impedance 2) Better thermal stability 3) Produce less noise 4) Smaller than BJT 5) Rugged in construction and simpler to fabricate 6) High degree of isolation between Input and Output. 

Description : With the help of N-channel JFET describe the effect of input voltage VGS on output current ID.

Last Answer : Working of N channel FET: * When a voltage is applied between the drain and source with a DC supply (VDD), the electrons flows from source to drain through narrow channel ... where the channel gets completely blocked and the drain current becomes zero is called pinch- off voltage. 

Description : Compare JFET with MOSFET.

Last Answer : Particulars JFET MOSFET 1) Type Voltage controlled device Voltage controlled device 2) Mode of operation Operates only in depletion mode Operates in depletion and enhancement ... 6) Gate connection Not isolated from substrate Isolated by SiO2 layer from substrate

Description : Define junction field effect transistor (JFET) and give an example.

Last Answer : Junction Field-Effect Transistor: It is a semiconductor device having three terminals, namely Gate, Drain and Source, in which the current flow is controlled by an electric field set up by an external voltage applied ... : i) n-channel JFET and ii) p-channel JFET Examples of JFET: BFW 10, BFW 11 

Description : Describe operation of N-channel JFET

Last Answer : Operation of N-channel JFET  1) When VGS = 0 volt: When a voltage is applied between the drain and source with a DC supply voltage VDD with VGS = 0 V, the electrons flow from source ... to zero. The gate to source voltage at which current reduces to zero is called as pinch-off voltage.

Description : The voltage gain of a common -source JFET amplifier depends up on its  (1) Input impedance (2) Amplification factor (3) Dynamic drain resistance (4) Drain load resistance

Last Answer : B

Description : While biasing JFET if drain and source are interchanged, then (A) device will work normally (B) device will get damaged (C) device will work but value of drain current will affected (D) device will not operate at all

Last Answer : B
