2. Two identical FETs, each characterized by the parameters g_m and r_d are connected in parallel .The composite FET is then characterized by the parameters_____________
A. gm/2 and 2rd
B. gm/2 and 2rd
C. 2gm and rd/2
D. 2gm and rd/2
Answer: C
Clarification: By converting FET into ac equivalent circuits and connecting them in parallel,
gn = 2gm and rn = rd/2.
3. The pinch off voltage of JFET is 5v. What is its cut off voltage?
A. 2.5V
B. 3V
C. 4V
D. 5V
Answer: D
Clarification: Pinch off voltage =5V
At cut off the gate to source voltage of JFET is equal to pinch off voltage
Vgs = VP => Vgs(off) = 5V.
4. The action of JFET in its equivalent circuit can be represented as which of the following?
A. Current controlled current source
B. Current controlled voltage source
C. Voltage controlled current source
D. Voltage controlled Voltage source
Answer: C
Clarification: In JFET equivalent circuit, the output current is controlled by the gate to source voltage and hence we can say it is a Voltage controlled current source.
5. Which of the following is the main advantage of Self bias?
A. Eliminates the need of two power supply
B. Maximum stability
C. Minimum stability
D. Maximum & Minimum stability
Answer: A
Clarification: Self bias eliminates the need of 2 power supply by connecting gate resistance to the supply voltage.
