Question 1
Field effect transistor uses ________ to control the shape.
A. electric field
B. magnetic field
C. current distribution
D. voltage distribution
View Answer
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Field effect transistor uses electric field to control the shape and hence the electrical conductivity of the channel.
Question 2
Field effect transistor’s conductivity is regulated by
A. input current
B. output current
C. terminal voltage
D. supply voltage
View Answer
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Field effect transistor’s conductivity is regulated by the voltage applied to a terminal (the gate) which is insulated from the device.
Question 3
Field effect transistors are known as
A. unipolar device
B. bipolar device
C. tripolar device
D. multipolar device
View Answer
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Field effect transistors are unipolar transistors as they involve single-carrier-type operation.
Question 4
In FET, the current enters the channel through
A. source
B. drain
C. gate
D. nodes
View Answer
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
In field effect transistor, the current enters the channel through source and the current leaves the junction through drain.
Question 5
In FET, the width is greater than the length of the gate.
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
View Answer
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
In FET, the width is greater than the length of the gate. Length gives the distance between source and drain. Width is the extension of the transistor, in the direction perpendicular to cross section.
Question 6
The expansion of depletion region in n-channel device makes the channel
A. narrow
B. wide
C. does not affect the channel
D. cannot be determined
View Answer
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
In n-channel depletion mode device, as the depletion region width expands, it encroaches the channel from the sides and the channel becomes narrow.
Question 7
The FET has __________ input impedance.
A. low
B. high
C. all of the mentioned
D. none of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Field effect transistors have high input impedance. The conductivity of non-FET transistors are regulated by the input current thus it has low input impedance.
Question 8
Which mode of operation of FET is used, when amplification is needed?
A. active
B. saturation
C. non saturation
D. linear
View Answer
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Saturation mode, which is in between the ohmic and saturation region is used when amplification is needed.
Question 9
Which relation is correct?
A. Vgs greater than Vds
B. Vds greater than Vgs
C. Vds equal to Vgs
D. Vgs lesser than Vds
View Answer
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
In FET, for either depletion or enhancement mode device the drain to source voltage is much less than the gate to source voltage.
Question 10
Which terminal bias the transistor to operation?
A. source
B. drain
C. gate
D. base
View Answer
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Other than the three terminals, source drain and gate, there is a fourth terminal called as body or base. This is used to bias the transistor to operation.
Question 11
Which terminal controls the electron flow passage?
A. source
B. drain
C. gate
D. base
View Answer
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Gate permits the electron to flow through or block their passage by creating or eliminating the channel between source and drain.
Question 12
Which voltage increases the channel size?
A. negative Vgs
B. positive Vgs
C. negative Vds
D. positive Vds
View Answer
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
A positive gate to source voltage increases the channel size and allows the electrons to flow easily.
