Engineering Simple transistor circuit question

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the drain current (Id), drain voltage (Vd), and source voltage (Vs) for a given transistor circuit with specified parameters. The user has determined the gate voltage (Vg) to be approximately 5.12 V, indicating that the transistor is in saturation mode. To find Id, the user needs to solve two simultaneous equations involving Vgs and Id, as Vgs is dependent on Id. A suggested resource for further assistance is a lecture link that may provide additional context. The focus remains on accurately computing Id as the primary goal.

Theres the circuit i have. Vdd = 10 V, Vtn = 2 V, Kn = .22 mA/V^2, Rg1 = 1.01 Mohm, Rg2 = 1.06 Mohm, Rd = 6kOhm, Rs = 5kOhm.

Im trying to figure out how to compute the drain current Id. As well as the drain voltage Vd and the source voltage Vs, but Id is priority.

Can anyone help?

[EDIT] I have figured out the gate voltage across the transistor to be 5.12077 V, therefore putting the transistor in saturation mode.

You will have two simultaneous equations, I believe. The Vgs depends on the Id, which depends on Vgs.
