Exploring How JFETs (Junction Field-Effect Transistors) Work! - DC to Daylight

In this episode, we're exploring the JFET, or junction field effect transistor, as it applies to the common-source amplifier. We cover graphically approximating the transconductance curve, and how to set the DC bias point. We also show how much this transconductance varies between devices within the same family. We then breadboard our circuit, and verify that measurements approximate our calculations! https://bit.ly/3QpPO1o
