JFET — UPSC Physics Optional IFoS 2023 Paper II

Consider an n-channel JFET which has \text{I}_{\text{DSS}} = 15\text{ mA} and pinch-off voltage \text{V}_\text{p} = -5\text{ V}. If \text{V}_{\text{GS}} = -1\cdot 5\text{ V}, how much will the drain current \text{I}_\text{D} be? What will be the minimum value of \text{V}_{\text{DS}} for pinch-off to occur at \text{V}_{\text{GS}} = -1\cdot 5\text{ V}?
