What is the main distinction between an active device and a passive device?
If a device has power gain, where is the higher energy of the a-c signal at the output coming from?
What is the distinction between a current-controlled vs. voltage-controlled three-terminal active device? Which is preferable?
For parts (a) through (c) below, consider the following low-frequency gate capacitance (per unit area) vs. gate voltage characteristic for a metal gate n-channel MOSFET.
