We have noticed in Part A that when the potentiometers
percentage of resistance decreases, the value of voltage drop across the gate and supply terminals decreases. On the other hand, when the potentiometers percentage of resistance increases, the value of voltage drop across the gate and supply terminals increases. Therefore, the percentage of potentiometers resistance is directly proportional to the voltage drop across the gate and supply terminals. In our data, the values from measured and calculated of saturation current have difference of 0.123 mA. Since in calculated value, we already underwent a rounding-off of decimal places in the previous datum that is needed to calculate it. In Part B, we observed that the value of voltage drop across gate and supply terminals is a function of drain current since we need to assume a value of drain current in order to plot a point and make a straight from it. We also have gathered a little bit of difference in values from all of the data in measured and calculated. Since in calculated value we need to plot the points and graph it, then we took the horizontal and vertical values from the intersection of the device curve and the network line; therefore, we cant get the accurate value of the drain current and voltage drop across the gate and supply. So it is in Part C, since we have rounded-off the values we get from the gate voltage, hence, it has effect in plotting the points in the graph so when getting the horizontal and vertical intersection of the network line and device curve. All in all, our measured and calculated values are approximately equal to each other and the percent difference of each data is not more than 10%, therefore, we can assure that we have gathered the right values.
