Engineering Need help with MOSFET circuit question (multiple choice).

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a circuit problem involving a MOSFET and a diode, with the original poster seeking assistance due to a lack of recent experience in circuits. They reference Ohm's law and the diode equation but express difficulty in starting the solution. A suggestion is made to eliminate incorrect choices based on the circuit's conditions, noting that with a 100V source and a non-conducting diode, all drain current from the MOSFET flows to the load. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding circuit behavior to solve the problem effectively.

Try to eliminate the bad choices.
It's 100V, the diode is not conducting, so all the Mosfet drain current goes to the load.
