Assertion (A): Assertion: An enhancement-mode MOSFET can be self biased with a source resistor alone.

Reason (R): Reason: A source resistor makes the gate negative with respect to the source.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • B.A is true but R is false
  • C.A is false but R is true
  • D.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer: C

The reason is true and is exactly why the assertion is false: an enhancement device needs the gate positive of the source, so the polarity self bias produces would keep it turned off. Self bias suits depletion devices only. A mechanism that is correct in itself can still be the wrong mechanism for the device at hand, and checking the required polarity first avoids the mistake.
