Question

$$\text { Figure } 17 < 2$$
-The device in Figure  17-2  is a______
A) NPN type BJT 
B) P-channel MOSFET 
C) N-channel JFET 
D) depletion type MOSFET

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The device in Figure 17-2 is a N-channel JFET. It can be identified by the arrow inside the channel, which indicates the direction of the flow of the majority carriers (electrons in this case). JFETs are normally-on devices, meaning that they conduct current with zero bias voltage applied. The JFET can also be identified as an N-channel device because it has a source and a drain, both connected to the N-type channel, and a gate connected to the P-type material that forms a p-n junction with the channel.
