Question
In Figure E6-1, which is the schematic symbol for a P-channel junction FET?
Answer Options
- A) 1
- B) 2
- C) 3
- D) 6
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Figure E6-1 displays schematic symbols for various types of Field-Effect Transistors (FETs). A Junction FET (JFET) is characterized by the physical connection between the gate and the channel (shown by a single line from G to the channel line). A P-channel device is identified by the arrow on the gate connection pointing outward from the channel.
Symbol 1 is the correct choice: it shows the gate (G) junction connected to the channel with the arrow pointing outward toward the gate terminal. This outward-pointing arrow is the convention for P-channel JFETs, indicating that holes are the majority carriers in the channel.
