It's a Field Effect Transistor. I personally wouldn't consider it either of those options; if I had to pick one, it's more inductor-like (in that it has impedance).

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.


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.


Why using silicon-di-oxide in MOSFET?

The Silicon di-oxide acts as a dielectric which forms a capacitor.


What is the meaning of electrical components?

Electronic component are those component which are used to make the electronic circuit it may be active or passive . some active components are - Diode ,FET,BJT,MOSFET, and HEMT etc. while passive component are those device which can not process/amplify signal like- resistor capacitor inductor etc.


Main factor which differ De mosfet from an e only mosfet?

An e only(enhancement) ÊMOSFET is off at zero gate-source voltage. Meanwhile, a de (depletion enhancement)ÊMOSFET is on at zero gate-source voltage.


The value of gate voltage for the operation of enhancement of only N channel MOSFET has to be?

high...


Other name of voltage to current converter?

a FET, or Feild Effect Transistor. In a FET, the value of the current depends upon the value of the voltage applied at the gate and drain so it is known as a voltage controlled device. For example: In a MOSFET the current from drain to source depends upon the width of the depletion layer which in turn depends upon the voltage applied on the gate.


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 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.
