Difference between bipolar junction transistor (BJT) and field effect transistor (FET)

BJT and FET are electronic devices. The basic difference between BJT and FET is that the bipolar junction transistor is the bipolar and current control device, while FET (field effect transistor) is the unijunction transistor. It is a voltage control device.

The Difference between bjt and fet

BJT	FET
1:BJT (bipolar junction transistor ) is the bipolar device.	1:FET (field-effect transistor) is a unijunction transistor.
2:Its operation depends on both majority charge carriers and minority charge carriers.	2:Its operation depends on majority charge carriers which may be holes or electrons.
3:Input impedance of BJT is very less i.e (1k -3k)	3:Input impedance of FET is very large.
