FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR (FET)

JUNCTION FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR (JFET) - The field-effect transistor

(FET) is a three-terminal device used for a variety of applications that match, to a large
extent, those of the BJT transistor. BJT transistor is a current-controlled device while the
JFET transistor is a voltage-controlled device.
