Extra exam question E6A11
Subelement E6, CIRCUIT COMPONENTS· Group E6A
In Figure E6-1, which is the schematic symbol for a P-channel junction FET?
- A.1 (correct answer)
- B.2
- C.3
- D.6
WhySymbol 1 in Figure E6-1 is the schematic symbol for a P-channel junction FET. In Figure E6-1, symbol 1 shows a single gate lead with the arrow pointing outward, away from the channel bar, and no separate insulated-gate bar, the standard symbol for a P-channel junction FET, an outward-pointing arrow indicating P-channel and the absence of the extra insulated-gate line distinguishing a JFET from a MOSFET, answer A. Symbol 2 is an N-channel MOSFET, symbol 3 is a P-channel MOSFET, and symbol 6 is an N-channel JFET (arrow pointing inward instead), none of which is the P-channel JFET being asked for.
