Question:medium
A JFET has \(I_{DSS}=10\,\text{mA}\) and pinch-off voltage \(V_P=-4\,\text{V}\). If \(V_{GS}=-3\,\text{V}\), find the value of \(I_D\)?
A JFET has \(I_{DSS}=10\,\text{mA}\) and pinch-off voltage \(V_P=-4\,\text{V}\). If \(V_{GS}=-3\,\text{V}\), find the value of \(I_D\)?
Show Hint
For a JFET,
\[
\boxed{
I_D=I_{DSS}\left(1-\frac{V_{GS}}{V_P}\right)^2
}
\]
where \(V_P\) is the pinch-off voltage.
