How to Test an N-Channel MOSFET Transistor

n-channel-MOSFET-test-method

A MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) is a type of transistor widely used in electronic circuits for switching and amplification. It operates by controlling the flow of current between two terminals, the source and the drain, using a voltage applied to a third terminal called the gate. N-channel MOSFETs, a common type, allow current to flow […]
