For an n-channel JFET operating normally, the gate-source junction is generally?

  • AForward biased heavily
  • BReverse biased
  • CShort-circuited
  • DDriven into avalanche continuously
Report an error
Correct Answer: B. Reverse biased
Explanation: The JFET gate-channel PN junction is normally reverse biased, which keeps gate current very small and controls the channel depletion width.
