In FET, in saturation region it acts as amplifier and where as in BJT, in active region it acts as amplifier. Why?
 

Re: FET and BJT question

If you look at the output characteristics of the FET & BJT, the active region of the BJT corresponds to the saturation region in a FET though they are referred with different names. So the BJT acts as an amplifier in the active region which happens to be the saturation region for a FET.
