Field Effect Transistor, a transistor in which most current is carried along a channel whose effective resistance can be controlled by a transverse electric field. Commonly used types of FETs include the Metal Oxide Semiconductor FET (MOSFET), and less common in recent designs, the Junction Gate FET (JFET or JuGFET).

Why (not) put a resistor on FET gate?

The gate source is essentially a capacitor. So with this high resistor, it would take a very long time to charge. The MOSFET will only turn on when the gate capacitor is charged above some level (the …
