Q1) Draw the small signal model of CE amplifier circuit and state its
parameters ?
Q2) What is MOSFET? Draw the symbol of n-channel and p-channel MOSFET?
MOSFET stands for Metal Oxide Field Effect Transistor, MOSFET was invented to overcome the
disadvantages present in FETs like high drain resistance, moderate input impedance, and slower
operation. So a MOSFET can be called the advanced form of FET. In some cases, MOSFETs are also
be called IGFET (Insulated Gate Field Effect Transistor). Practically speaking, MOSFET is a voltage-
controlled device, meaning by applying a rated voltage to the gate pin, the MOSFET will start
conducting through the Drain and Source pin. We will get into details later in this article.
Q3) Draw the high frequency equivalent circuit of CE amplifier circuit and
state its parameters ?
Q4) Differentiate between BJT and MOSFET ?

Q5) .Define the types of configurations of MOSFET ?
1. N-Channel MOSFET (NMOS):
 Structure: N-type semiconductor with P-type substrate, insulating
oxide layer, and metal gate.
 Operation: Positive gate voltage attracts electrons, forming an N-type
channel for current flow between source and drain.
2. P-Channel MOSFET (PMOS):
 Structure: P-type semiconductor with N-type substrate, insulating
oxide layer, and metal gate.
 Operation: Negative gate voltage attracts holes, creating a P-type
channel for current flow between source and drain.
Q6) Differentiate between n-channel and p-channel MOSFET ?

Q1) . Explain the working of MOSFET as an amplifier ?

1. Operating Regions:
 The MOSFET has three operating regions: cutoff, triode (or linear), and
saturation.
 In cutoff, the MOSFET is off, and no current flows between the source
and drain.
 In saturation, the MOSFET is on, and a significant current flows between
the source and drain.
2. Biasing:
 To use the MOSFET as an amplifier, it is biased in the triode or
saturation region.
 Biasing involves applying DC voltages to the gate-source and drain-
source terminals to establish the desired operating point.
3. Small-Signal AC Input:
 The input signal to be amplified is typically an AC (alternating current)
signal superimposed on a DC bias.
 The AC input signal is applied to the gate terminal, causing small
variations in the voltage at the gate.
4. Small-Signal Output:
 The variations in the gate voltage modulate the current flow between
the source and drain, leading to a corresponding small-signal output.
5. Amplification:
 The MOSFET amplifies the small AC input signal by controlling the
larger DC current flow between the source and drain.
 The amplification is achieved through the control of the MOSFET's
transconductance (change in output current for a change in input
voltage).
6. Load Resistor:
 The amplified AC signal is usually taken across a load resistor
connected to the drain terminal.
Q2) Explain the working of MOSFET as a switch ?
1. OFF State (Cutoff):
 When the light switch is OFF, there's no connection between the power
source and the light bulb.
 Similarly, in a MOSFET, when the gate voltage is too low, it's in the OFF
state (cutoff), and no current flows between the source and drain.
2. ON State (Saturation):
 When you flip the light switch ON, it completes the circuit, and the light
turns ON.
 In a MOSFET, when the gate voltage is high enough, it's in the ON state
(saturation), and current flows freely between the source and drain.
3. Switching Action:
 You control the light by flipping the switch, turning it ON or OFF.
 With a MOSFET, you control electronic devices by adjusting the voltage
on the gate, switching it between ON (current flows) and OFF (no
current).
4. Fast and Efficient:
 Like how your light turns on quickly when you flip the switch, MOSFETs
switch rapidly between ON and OFF states.
 They do this with minimal wasted energy, making them efficient for
various electronic applications.
Q3) Draw the small signal equivalent circuit of CE amplifier. Derive the
expressionfor rπ , gm ?
