(a) A JFET circuit is shown below. The n-JFET has maximum drain-source current IDSS = 12 mA, and pinchoff voltage, VP = - 6V. (i) Explain why VGS = -VS. (ii) Calculate the value of source resistance RS required to bias the n-JFET in saturation region with gate-to-source voltage, VGS = -3V.

The JFET in the circuit shown aside has VP = -3V and IDSS = 9mA. Find the values of all resistors so that VG = 5V, ID = 4mA, and VD = 11V. Consider a 0.05mA current in the voltage divider. Useful equation: ID = IDSS(1 - VGS/VP)2

Calculate the drain current for an NMOS transistor operating with VGS = 5 V and VDS = 10 V if VTN = 1 V, Kn = 1 μA/V^2, and λ = 0.02 V^-1. What is ID for λ = 0?
