The input gate current of a FET is?

Gate current is denote by Ig


Why input is voltage and output is current in fet?

The input is a Gate that is essentially infinite impedance, so no current. The output is essentially the resistance between Source and Drain, which controls the current flowing through it.


Why the name is FET?

FET stands for Field Effect Transistor. The name FET comes because the gate current of a field effect transistor is zero and current present in the source conductor is due to an electric field produced by the substrate material placed between the gate and the source.


Which lead on an FET controls the amount of current flowing through the device?

Gate


Why is it thatFET is called a voltage operated device?

since in an FET the value of the current depends upon the value of the voltage applied at the gate and drain...so it is known as 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.. so that is the reason


Fet in cut off voltage?

fet is a voltage controlled device...cut off voltage in fet refers to that voltage of the gate - source junction at which the current flow through channel is zero


What is Cut-off voltage in fet?

fet is a voltage controlled device...cut off voltage in fet refers to that voltage of the gate - source junction at which the current flow through channel is zero


What is the difference between jfet and bjt?

FET's (field effect transistors) are unipolar devices because unlike BJT's that use both electron and hole current, they operate only with one type of charge carrier. BJT is a current-controlled device; that is the base current controls the amount of collector current. FET is a voltage-controlled device, where voltave between two of the terminals (gate and source) controls the current through the device. BJT's have a low input impedance ( ~1k -3k ohms), while FET's have a very high input impedance (~10^11 ohms). Consequently FET's have a lower power consumption. BJT's produce more noise than FET's . FET's have a slower switching speed . BJT's are subject to thermal runway while FET's are immune to this problem. BJT's have a higher cutoff frequencey and a higher maximum current then FET's. FET's are easy to fabricate in large scale and have higher element density the BJT's.


Why FET called current controlled device?

BJT is a current controlled device because its output current is dependent upon the current in the base while for FET it is controlled by the voltage at the gate terminal of the transistor. BJT is a current controlled device because its base current is not zero while for a FET the gate current is zero


Why the voltage gain of an FET amplifier is generally less than that obtained using BJT amplifier?

A FET (Field Effect Transistor) is mainly used when the input signal needs to be isolated from the output. A FET has a very high input resistance, so very little current is required from the input. Voltage gain is not the main objective when using a FET.


Why input impedance of FET is higher than ordinary transistor?

the gate is insulated from the channel by either a reverse biased junction or silicon dioxide.


How do you calculate the current gain of a transistor JFET?

FETs don't have current gain as no current flows through the gate. The gain of a FET is a voltage gain and is called mu.
