The FET amplifier common gate circuit is similar to which of the following bipolar transistor amplifier circuits?

  1. A Common emitter
  2. B Common base
  3. C Common mode
  4. D Common collector

Correct answer: B — Common base. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

In a common gate FET amplifier, the input signal enters the source while the gate stays at a steady voltage, much like how a common base bipolar transistor takes its input at the emitter while the base remains fixed. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
