Choose the correct technical statement regarding a MOSFET:
Multiple Choice Options
- A
MOSFET is a unipolar, voltage controlled, two terminal device
- B
MOSFET is a bipolar, current controlled, three terminal devices
- C✓ Correct Option
MOSFET is a unipolar, voltage controlled, three terminal device
- D
MOSFET is a bipolar, current controlled two terminal device.
Detailed Technical Solution & Explanation
A Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) conducts current using only one type of charge carrier (unipolar), is controlled by electrostatic gate voltage with virtually zero DC gate current, and connects externally via three active terminals: Gate, Drain, and Source.
