Mastering Modular Programming and Data Structures in C

Unit 4: Modular Programming Concepts

Modular programming is a software design technique that divides a program into smaller, independent, and reusable units called modules or functions. Each module performs a specific task, which helps in organizing, testing, and debugging programs more efficiently. By breaking a large problem into manageable pieces, programmers can focus on one module at a time, reducing complexity and improving readability. Modules can be developed, tested, and maintained separately,

Field-Effect Transistors and Op-Amp Principles

Construction and Working of an n-channel JFET

Construction

An n-channel JFET consists of a small bar of extrinsic n-type semiconductor material. Two ohmic contacts are made at its ends, serving as the drain (D) and source (S) terminals. Heavily doped p-type electrodes form reverse-biased p-n junctions on both sides of the n-type bar, creating the gate (G) terminals (usually connected together). The thin region between these two p-gates is the n-channel, through which current flows.

Working

The gate-
