AI Thread Summary
Understanding Vds is crucial for ensuring MOSFETs operate in the saturation region, as falling below Vdsat can lead to unintended linear operation. Calculating Vds can be done using circuit theory, particularly in configurations like a common source amplifier with a drain resistor. Clarity in the question is essential, as some participants found the initial inquiry confusing. Providing a specific circuit example may help in addressing the calculation of Vds more effectively. Engaging with additional resources can also enhance understanding of MOSFET operation in different configurations.

i think this question is very important.
We must know Vds to make MOSFETs in saturation region.
if not, there would always be possibilities that a transistor falls in a linear region as Vds is lower than Vdsat.

Of course, i can calculate Vds in a CS AMP with a drain resistor.
I mean, in the other configurations, we should also know Vds.

How can i calculate it?

Well you need to use your circuit theory knowledge and solve for Vds.
Also you can show as a circuit that you have a problem with.
 

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
