[!TLDR]

Amplification factor μ=ΔVDS/ΔVGS\mu = \Delta V_{DS}/\Delta V_{GS} at constant IDI_D, and it equals the product rd×gmr_d \times g_m.

The amplification factor μ\mu of a JFET tells us how much a change in gate-to-source voltage is 'amplified' as a change in drain-to-source voltage while the drain current is held constant. It is defined as μ=ΔVDS/ΔVGS\mu = \Delta V_{DS}/\Delta V_{GS} at constant IDI_D and is a pure number (dimensionless). It is not an independent quantity: it is connected to the AC drain resistance rdr_d and the transconductan …
