E6A09E6A

What is a depletion-mode field-effect transistor (FET)?

Direct answer summary (2024-2028 NCVEC pool)

The official correct answer for E6A09 is An FET that exhibits a current flow between source and drain when no gate voltage is applied.

The key fact is An FET that exhibits a current flow between source and drain when no gate voltage is applied. Match that fact to the exact condition in the question; the other choices describe a different rule, band, component, or operating situation.
