What makes it possible for FETs to control current with voltage directly, but that bipolar transistors need to use current for control?
Why is the current flowing into the FET gate so small?
What are the relative sizes of the p-regions and n-regions in FETs?
For JFETs, drain and source look the same. Can we reverse drain and source in the experimental setup?
Do all of the FETs have the same
slope? Or are the curves just similar?
What is the meaning of ``pinch-off region''?
Do p-channel FETs mirror the n-channel
graphs?
How do we use the linear regime? What exactly are we calculating when we draw the curve
?
What is the functional difference between bipolar transistors and FETs in electronics applications?
How are FETs and bipolar transistors applied differently? What is the technical advantage of using one kind over the other?
How important is it for us to know about bipolar transistors?
What quantitatively is relevant to FETs?
