If a p-channel MOSFET has a threshold voltage of -2V and a gate voltage of -4V applied, what will happen, and what is the implication for circuit design?
💡 Hint: Think about whether the voltage applied is lower than the threshold.
Consider a p-MOSFET in a circuit where the current is measured at 10 mA. If you change the width of the channel to 2 times its original value, what happens to the current?
💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between width and current flow.
