In a JFET, when drain voltage is equal to pinch-off voltage, the depletion layers ______________?

Correct answer: A. almost touch each other

  • A. almost touch each other
  • B. have large gap
  • C. have moderate gap
  • D. none of the above

Explanation

At the pinch-off voltage, the depletion regions expand until they nearly meet at the drain end of the channel. This constriction limits further increase in drain current.
