Answer 1

Field effect transistor (FET)

F1 Engineering Savita 5-4-23 D8

The field-effect transistor (FET) is a type of transistor that uses an electric field to control the flow of current in a semiconductor.
FETs are devices with three terminals: source, gate, and drain. FETs control the flow of current by the application of a voltage to the gate, which in turn alters the conductivity between the drain and the source.
FETs naturally contain two p-n junctions, hence it is a Bi-junction device.
FETs use either electrons (n-channel) or holes (p-channel) as charge carriers in their operation, but not both.
Field effect transistors generally display very high input impedance at low frequencies.
