What is MOSFET and Where are they Used?

MOSFET is basically a transistor which uses field effect. MOSFET stands for Metal Oxide Field Effect Transistor, which has a gate. The gate voltage determines the conductivity of the device. Depending on this gate voltage we can change the conductivity and thus we can use it as a switch or as an amplifier like we use Transistor as a switch or as an amplifier.

MOSFET Amplifier

MOSFET provides very high input impedance and it is very easy to bias. So, for a linear small amplifier, MOSFET is an excellent choice. The linear amplification occurs when we bias the MOSFET in the saturation region which is a centrally fixed Q point.
