What is the difference between MOSFET and thyristor?
They are both commonly used electrical switches. Some of the differences are that whereas Mosfet switches are voltage driven devices and can only switch DC current, Thyristor switches are current driven and can switch both AC and DC.
What happens if a negative voltage is applied to the gate of the n and p channel MOSFET?
It depends on: 1. technology, whether it's a JFET, enhancement-mode IGFET/MOSFET or depletion-mode IGFET/MOSFET, and 2. polarity, whether it's an N type or P type. More info needed for this one.

Why you prefer mosfet switch?
actually I prefer a bjt
Can depletion mosfet act as enhancement mosfet?
It depends. A depletion MOSFET can be used as an ehancemnet MOSFET when it is operated as an analog amplifier. However, a depletion MOSFET can't replace an enhancement MOSFET when it is operated as a digital switch. When a depletion MOSFET is used as a digital switch, since the junction between source terminal and substrate must be reverse biased, the voltage of the source terminal of an N typde transistor must be tied to Vdd, and it is completely opposite to an enhancement MOSFET. When a depletion MOSFET is used as an analog amplifer, the source terminal and the substrate are both at the same potential, just like an enhancement MOSFET.
What is the function of enhancement mosfet?
An enhancement MOSFET doesn't conduct current across the drain to source unless a voltage is applied to the gate. When sufficient voltage is applied to the gate of the transistor, currents flows from drain to source. A MOSFET acts as a switch or amplifier in a circuit.
What is semi controlled switch?
A switch that is controlled by other electrical components.

How do you keep mosfet from overheating i use only mosfet and control it using variable resistor it works but it gets overheated and brokedown.My battery operated scooter is 24v dc 72 amp.thank you.?
Use a mosfet driver instead of a simple resistor. Using a resistor to control the mosfet is a bad idea anyways because you will have terrible control (mosfets are voltage controlled. Take a look at the response curve for your mosfet). If your mosfet is fully on, its ratings may be too low for continuous operation or the power dissipation is too low for the transition between off an on an that is killing your mosfet.
Why mosfet is called mosfet?
MOSFET is an acronym standing for Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor.
What is ac chopper?
AC chopper is also called AC voltage controller. In AC voltage controller, we use 2 thyristors as switching element. In AC chopper we use MOSFET or IGBT as switching element with diodes in bridge rectifier for bidirectional flow of current. This use of mosfet switch has the following advantages over thyristor: * no separate firing circuit are needed for Mosfet ( it can be driven directly by interfacing it with MC) whereas firing circuits are needed for SCR. *when the line current drops to zero SCR turns off due to natural commutation( when it reaches 172 deg) ; mosfet- user control - we can turn on and off as per our requirement. * snubber circuit is needed for thyristor phase control method. By using mosfet in diode rectifier provides internal snubber
Construction of mosfet in depletion region?
To make a depletion MOSFET, the channel must be doped with carriers; this is in total opposite to an enhancement MOSFET which avoids carriers in the channel at all cost. (because the carriers in the channel become the subthreshold leakage current) Since you need to pinch the channel against the substrate to guarantee to turn off the channel completely, there must be a reverse bias between the substrate and the source terminal. As a result, the source terminal of an N type depletion MOSFET must be tied to Vdd. This is also a complete opposite to enhancement MOSFET. In order to turn off the channel quickly, the carriers in the channel of depletion MOSFET are usually planted shallowly. This is a drastically different from enhancement MOSFET that carriers must be planted deeply into source terminal in order to support a large diffuse current. The construction of depletion MOSFET thus requires far less diffusion time than enhancement MOSFET.
Why you use FET?
FET's improve the switching frequency from KHZ to MHZ.. FET can be used as temperature sensor.. and mosfet is used as a switch..
