SUMMARY
The discussion centers on understanding the relationship between gate-source voltage (Vgs) and drain-source voltage (Vds) in MOSFETs, particularly in the context of resistance. A participant questions how Vout can equal 15 volts when the top MOSFET has a resistance of 5k ohms. The explanation provided emphasizes that if no current flows through a resistor, there will be no voltage across it, which is crucial for understanding MOSFET operation.
