What is a common-source stage's voltage gain?

  • A.Minus the supply voltage divided by the drain voltage
  • B.Minus the transconductance times the drain load
  • C.Minus the drain load divided by the source resistor
  • D.Minus the drain current times the load resistance

Answer: B

The gain is minus the transconductance times the drain load, exactly parallel to the bipolar case but with a much smaller transconductance, so the gains are correspondingly modest - tens rather than hundreds. The second option is the degenerated form. The parallel with the bipolar expression is worth noticing, since it means the same intuitions about loading and degeneration apply unchanged. Framing the question as which quantity the change acts upon makes the answer follow without calculation.
