1. Differentiate the BJT and JFET.

The BJT and JFET are two different types of semiconductor devices having a
similar circuit structure. However, their working principles are different.

An electric current flowing through a BJT produces an alternating pulse like signal,
while the JFET emits continuous voltage in the forward direction. There exist
signals that can be applied to both BJT and JFET as well as balancing or
modification techniques for each device. These similarities also pertain to their
applications.

2. What is JFET and its importance?

JFET is an abbreviation for Junction Field Effect Transistor. It's a three-terminal

semiconductor component that only conducts current when most of the charge
carriers pass through it. As a result, the transistor has a unipolar configuration.
The JFET has three terminals: source, drain, and gate. The JFET, unlike the BJT, is a
voltage-controlled device, with the drain current being controlled by the potential
supplied at the gate terminal. JFETs are widely employed in circuit design due to
their low power consumption and ability to reach exceptionally high impedance
levels as well as significant voltage gains.

3. Bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) are considered “normally-off” devices, because

their natural state with no signal applied to the base is no conduction between
emitter and collector, like an open switch. Are junction field-effect transistors (JFETs)
considered the same? Why or why not?

The answer is "no". JFETs are normally off devices, but this differs from BJT's
normally off state in that it can be turned on by applying a voltage to the gate
terminal. A JFET has two terminals called source and drain with electrons flowing
towards the source terminal when there is no voltage applied to the gate
terminal.
