AI Thread Summary
To model stray capacitance in JFET amplifiers for mid-band frequencies, a small signal model is required. The capacitors in the circuit are treated as short circuits. It is suggested to seek foundational knowledge through textbooks or online resources, such as videos on JFET small signal models. Engaging with the material and attempting a solution before asking for help can lead to more effective guidance. Understanding the basics of small signal analysis is crucial for accurately modeling stray capacitance.

Homework Statement


Hello , I need to make a small signal model for mid band frequencies for the circuit I provided below.
I am also supposed to observe the "stray capacitance " in the transistor using this small signal model.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I know that the capacitors here act as short circuit.
The problem is I don't know where to start and what to do. I tried googling small signal model but I couldn't understand a thing.

Help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like you need some more background. Is your textbook not providing the proper foundations? Youtube "JFET small signal model" and you will find a very good video posted by tarbidan that should help you get started.

BTW, welcome to PF. In order for us to provide the best kind of help, you should attempt a solution and ask specific questions.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
