Which of the following is true when inputs are controlled by equal amounts of charge? A. Cg(MOS) = Cbase(bipolar) B. Cg(MOS) greater than Cbase(bipolar) C. Cg(MOS) lesser than Cbase(bipolar) D. Cs(MOS) lesser than Cbase(bipolar)

Cg(MOS) = Cbase(bipolar)
Cg(MOS) greater than Cbase(bipolar)
Cg(MOS) lesser than Cbase(bipolar)
Cs(MOS) lesser than Cbase(bipolar)

The correct answer is C. Cg(MOS) lesser than Cbase(bipolar).

The gate capacitance (Cg) of a MOSFET is the capacitance between the gate and the channel. The base capacitance (Cbase) of a bipolar transistor is the capacitance between the base and the emitter.

When inputs are controlled by equal amounts of charge, the gate capacitance of a MOSFET is always less than the base capacitance of a bipolar transistor. This is because the gate of a MOSFET is a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structure, while the base of a bipolar transistor is a semiconductor material. The MOS structure has a much higher capacitance than the semiconductor material.

The following is a brief explanation of each option:

  • Option A: Cg(MOS) = Cbase(bipolar) is not true. The gate capacitance of a MOSFET is always less than the base capacitance of a bipolar transistor.
  • Option B: Cg(MOS) greater than Cbase(bipolar) is not true. The gate capacitance of a MOSFET is always less than the base capacitance of a bipolar transistor.
  • Option C: Cg(MOS) lesser than Cbase(bipolar) is true. The gate capacitance of a MOSFET is always less than the base capacitance of a bipolar transistor.
  • Option D: Cs(MOS) lesser than Cbase(bipolar) is not true. The gate-source capacitance (Cs) of a MOSFET is always greater than the base-emitter capacitance (Cbe) of a bipolar transistor.
