Which failure is likely if a MOSFET's gate charge insufficient to fully switch?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient gate charge leads to incomplete channel formation; partially on/off states increase resistance. Increased conduction losses from elevated resistance manifest because the **channel pinch-off** is not fully established, therefore more energy is dissipated as heat, rather than alternatives like threshold voltage decreases which need different mechanisms.
