FET is a device that is usually operated in the constant-current portion of its output characteristics. But if it is operated on the region prior to pinch-off (that iswhere VDS is small, say below 100 mV[ohmic region of JFET]), it will behave as a voltage-variable resistor (WE). It is due to the fact that in this region drain-to-source resistance RDS can be controlled by varying the bias voltage VGS. In such applications the FET is also referred to as a voltage-variable resistor or volatage dependent resistor. It finds applications in many areas where this property is useful.
Figure shows the drain characteristic curves for a 2N 5951 in the ohmic region (i.e. for low VDS). From the characteristic curve it can be seen that RDS varies with VGS. For example, when VGS = 0, RDS = 133 ohm and when VGS = - 2 V, RDS = 250 ohm. Because of this a JFET operating in the ohmic region with small ac signals acts as a voltage-controlled resistance.
Note that the drain curves shown in figure,extend on both sides of the origin. This means that a JFET can be employed as a voltage-variable resistorfor small ac signals, typically those less than 100 mV. When it is employed in this way, it does not require a dc drain voltage from the supply. All that is required is an ac input signal.

What is the difference between fet and ujt?
The structure of a UJT is quite similar to that of an N-channel JFET. The main difference is that P-type (gate) material surrounds the N-type (channel) material in case of JFET and the gate surface of the JFET is much larger than emitter junction of UJT.
The transfer characteristics of a JFET with external bias?
Transfer Characteristic of JFETThe transfer characteristic for a JFET can be determined experimentally, keeping drain-source voltage, VDSconstant and determining drain current, ID for various values of gate-source voltage, VGS. The circuit diagram is shown in fig. 9.7 (a). The curve is plotted between gate-source voltage, VGS and drain current, ID, as illustrated in fig. 9.8. It is similar to the transconductance characteristic of a vacuum tube or a transistor. It is observed that (i) Drain current decreases with the increase in negative gate-source bias(ii) Drain current, ID = IDSS when VGS = 0(iii)Drain current, ID = 0 when VGS = VD The transfer characteristic follows equation (9.1)The transfer characteristic can also be derived from the drain characteristic by noting values of drain current, ID corresponding to various values of gate-source voltage, VGS for a constant drain-source voltage and plotting them.It may be noted that a P-channel JFET operates in the same way and have the similar characteristics as an N-channel JFET except that channel carriers are holes instead of electrons and the polarities of VGS and VDSare reversed.
How do you identify drain and source in a JFET using multimeter?
step one. put down multimeter. step two. google the JFETS serial number step three. click the link that looks like a datasheet. step four. find the pin configuration. Probably alot easier than finding which two have low resistance when you apply voltage to the gate (assuming N type)
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.

How jfet works?
A Jfet works by applying voltage to the drain of the jfet. A jfet will then conduct across from drain to source.
