Given a MOSFET circuit where the threshold voltage is 1V, K is 0.3 mA/V², and V_GS is varied between 1V to 5V. Calculate I_DS for each value of V_GS, then explain the relationship between V_GS and I_DS.
💡 Hint: Use the I_DS formula and observe how current rises with increasing gate voltage.
Compare the effects of changing the load resistance in a common source amplifier configuration while keeping the input constant. Analyze how output voltage and signal quality change.
