Circuit demonstrations of the various different properties of bipolar and MOSFET transistors.
There are many differences between the MOSFET and BJT.
* The MOSFET (voltage controlled) is a metal-oxide semiconductor whereas the BJT (current controlled) is a bipolar junction transistor.
* While both have three terminals, these differ. The MOSFET has a source, drain, and gate whereas the BJT has a base, emitter, and collector.
* MOSFETs are ideal for high-power applications whereas BJTs are more commonly used in low-current applications.
* A BJT depends on the current at its base terminal whereas a MOSFET depends on the voltage at the oxide-insulated gate electrode.
* A MOSFET’s structure is inherently more complex than a BJT’s structure.
* CLOSE the SPST switch on each bipolar and MOSFET transistor to view the demonstration.
