Field Effect Transistors(FET)

[CrazyKenKid 64]

So last weekend our teach put us in groups of 5 and give each group a topic. all the topics are related to electrical components and what not. My group was lucky enough to get FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTORS(FETS)

and then we broke it up into sections for each person to do, for the part i have to do "research applications and why they are used"

and then i started to think doesn't car audio amplifiers have fets in them? or rather called mosfet? so i was just wondering if anyone could start me out or lend a hand on where i should be looking for information and maybe recommend a creditable site? also i was thinking about dropping db-r an e-mail asking him but i don't know if that would be a good idea b/c I image he is busy and wouldn't have time for crap like this.

and no i haven't done any looking around yet this is my first time opening my note book since last weekends.

for rest of today i plan on using the Google-machine and Wikipedia and whatever else comes my way to help me start this project and hopefully get it nearly completed tonight. as I find info I will be posting it here and hopefully getting feedback from the members on here regarding my project!

so any and all help will be appreciated and thanks for your time in advances

i just seen some interesting blurp

"Field-effect transistors exist in two major classifications.� These are known as the junction FET (JFET) and the metal-oxide- semiconductor FET (MOSFET)."

and

"field-effect transistor (FET) is a type of transistor commonly used for weak-signal amplification (for example, for amplifying wireless signals"

does that sound legit? so FET is jsut a general term and more commonly called MOSFET and JFET?

why thankyou!!!

[CrazyKenKid 64]

also it says they are used in amplifiers b/c of there low noise?and effeciency? can anyone point me in the right direct on this one? (this came from a peer in class)

I know for a fact that MOSFETs are used because of their efficiency. I am not sure about the low noise though. They remain a lot cooler as well that is also why they are efficient I a believe.

this might help, list of amp classes

i didnt look this over, but i think its the right one haha

this link talks about ampliers

so from what ppl have been telling me so far and what i have been reading it would seem that mosfets in amps would be nearly the only ideal application? interesting!

thankyou! that will be going into my little report!

i thought it talked about different kinds and how they are used, maybe i have the wrong article.

actually i am going to do some more reading on the site i think i had it wrong on my initial view of it!
