A n-channel D-MOSFET with a positive VGS is operating in _______________?

Correct answer: B. the enhancement-mode

  • A. the depletion-mode
  • B. the enhancement-mode
  • C. cut off
  • D. saturation

Explanation

A positive VGS in an n-channel depletion MOSFET attracts additional electrons to the channel, enhancing its conductivity. This is enhancement-mode operation, although the device can also have a particular saturation-region bias depending on VDS.
