Study of JFET Characteristics AIM: To Study JFET Characteristics

This document outlines a study of the characteristics of a junction field effect transistor (JFET). The objectives are to understand how JFETs work, their features and characteristics. Specifically, it aims to study the pinch-off voltage, amplification factor, and transconductance of the JFET. The procedure applies input voltages, measures drain current and voltage, and derives dynamic drain resistance, amplification factor and transconductance from the recorded data. Graphs of drain current versus drain voltage are plotted for various gate voltages.
