Question A-002-004-004

How does the input impedance of a field-effect transistor (FET) compare with that of a bipolar transistor?

Correct Answer

An FET has high input impedance a bipolar transistor has low input impedance

Explanation

FETs are voltage-controlled devices with an insulated gate (MOSFET) or reverse-biased junction (JFET), resulting in very high input impedance. Bipolar transistors are current-controlled with a forward-biased base-emitter junction, resulting in lower input impedance.
