An n- channel JFET has IDSS=2mA,and Vp=-4v.Its transconductance gm=in mA/V)for an applied gate to source voltage VGS=-2v is___________?

Correct answer: B. 0.5

  • A. 0.25
  • B. 0.5
  • C. 0.75
  • D. 1

Explanation

Using the Shockley relation, the factor is 1 - VGS/Vp = 1 - (-2/-4) = 0.5. Since gm0 = 2IDSS/|Vp| = 1 mA/V, gm = 1 × 0.5 = 0.5 mA/V.
