If the gate of a JFET is made less negative, the width of the conducting channel__________________?
Correct answer: C. is increased
- A. remains the same
- B. is decreased
- C. is increased
- D. none of the above
Explanation
Making the n-channel JFET gate less negative reduces the reverse bias and narrows the depletion regions, leaving a wider conducting channel. The increased channel width permits greater current.
