mainly i will tell ttwo advantages:-

1)in FET "thermal runaway" never occurs but in bjt it occurs easily...thermal runaway means overheating and damage of fet due to different biasing voltages..

2) since FET is a unipolar device so only one carrier type is required here ,but bjt is a bipolar device ..

3) FET is smaller in size than BJT of same rating. i mean to say that at the place of 10 bjts we can use 90 FETs ..so area cosumption is less

Following are the Advantages of JFET over BJT:

1. Operation of JFET depends upon the flow of majority carriers only i.e. electrons in n-type and holes in p-type semiconductor. Because of this JFET is said to be Unipolar device. Unlike this BJT depends on the follow of both the types of carriers and is a bipolar device.

2. Normally JFETs are extremely immune to any type of radiations which is not so for BJTs.

3. JFET have a high value of input resistance (normally of the order of Meg-ohms), this provides a good isolation between the input and output ts

4. Circuits based on JFET are supposed to be less noisy in their functionality as compared to BJT.

5. JFET exhibits no offset voltage at zero drain current and hence functions as an excellent chopper.

6. In comparison to BJTs JFETs are highly Thermally Stable.

Disadvantage:Easy to damage when compared to BJT


Why FET produces less noise than BJT?

because the fet is made out of carbon metal oxide and the bjt is made out of silicon or germanium


How biasing of FET differs from biasing of BJT?

in BJT forwardbiasing & reverse biasing are carried out but in FET voltage divider biasing &self biasing are carried out.


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.


What applications would prefer the bipolar junction transistors over the field effect transistor?

bjt is bipolar device whr fet is unipolar....fet is input resistance thts y fet gain is less compared to bjt..... The applications that will prefer bipolar junction transistors to field effect transistors are applications that require fast switching.


What is the main advantage of an fet transistor over a bjt transistor?

BJT & FET parameters are temperature dependent. In BJT the collector junction resistance decreasing ( collector current increasing) with temperature raise.Due to the highe temperature & current transistor will damage quickly. In FET drain resistance increasing (drain current decreasing ) with increasing temperature.Due to this property it will not damage easily. We can say from the above two statements FET is more temperature stable.FET can use in highe temperature applications.

What is the difference between BJT and NPN transister?

Mainly there are two types of transistors. They are BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistors) and FET(Field Effect Transisters). In BJT, there are two types called PNP and NPN. Actually NPN means a BJT transister.

What are the three element of a transistor?

For a BJT transistor the three basic elements are collector, base and emitter. For a FET transistor are drain, gate and source which are analogous for the BJT parts mentioned before.
