📌 INTRODUCTION

A Field-Effect Transistor (FET) is a three-terminal


semiconductor device that controls current flow using an
electric field. It is widely used in amplification,
switching, and signal processing due to its high
efficiency and low power consumption. 💡 Working Principle:
The voltage at the Gate regulates the conduction
channel between Drain and Source, thereby
💡 TYPES OF FETS controlling current flow.

JFET (Junction Field-Effect Transistor)


✅ Voltage-controlled with a reverse-biased gate-source 🎯 Advantages of FET
junction. ✔ High input impedance – Reduces loading
✅ Operates in depletion mode (always ON unless biased effect.
OFF). ✔ Low power consumption – Energy-efficient,
✅ Found in low-noise amplifiers, oscillators, and ideal for portable devices.
buffer circuits. ✔ Compact size – Essential for modern ICs and
MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor FET) microprocessors.

Fun Fact: The first MOSFET was invented in 1959, but it took over a decade
before it became the foundation of modern electronics. Today, billions of
MOSFETs are packed into a single microprocessor, making them the most
widely used electronic component in the world!
