A certain common-source JFET has a voltage gain of 10. If the source bypass capacitor is removed, ______________?

Correct answer: C. the voltage gain will decrease

  • A. the voltage gain will increase
  • B. the transconductance will increase
  • C. the voltage gain will decrease
  • D. the Q-point will shift

Explanation

Removing the source bypass capacitor introduces source degeneration through the source resistor, reducing the AC voltage gain. It does not significantly shift the DC Q-point because the capacitor is open for DC in either case.
