Question

Which of the following statements are true?
P: JFET is biased to operate it in active region
Q: MOSFET is biased to operate it in saturation region

• A. Both P and Q are correct
• B. P is correct and Q is incorrect
• C. P is incorrect and Q is correct
• D. Both P and Q are incorrect

Hint:

In JFETs, biasing is required to maintain the active region, while MOSFETs operate in the saturation region for current control.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- In a **JFET**, the active region is the region where the gate-source voltage is reverse biased, and the drain current is controlled by the gate-source voltage. Therefore, statement P is **incorrect**. - In a **MOSFET**, the device operates in the saturation region when the gate-source voltage is above the threshold voltage, and the drain current becomes relatively constant with respect to the drain-source voltage. Thus, statement Q is **correct**. Therefore, the correct answer is option (3).
