Exam-style question
Try this first
In a simple control circuit using a MOSFET, what role does the Gate terminal play?.
- A.It allows current to flow from Source to Drain.
- B.It controls the current flow through the MOSFET.
- C.It measures the output voltage.
- D.It provides power to the circuit.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- It controls the current flow through the MOSFET.
Explanation
Why this works
The Gate terminal of a MOSFET is used to control the flow of current between the Source and Drain terminals. By applying a voltage to the Gate, the MOSFET can be turned on or off, allowing or stopping current flow.
