In the active region, the output voltage v0 of the n-channel MOSFET (NMOS) circuit, and the drain current iD, satisfy the relationship vo = VDD − RDiD, where VDD is the unknown battery voltage, and RD is the unknown drain resistance. The values of the output voltage for two different values of the drain current iD are given in the table. Note: There is no expectation that you understand anything about how this circuit works - but you should be able to recognize the parts within this problem that resemble what we've seen in class. (a) Calculate the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of this line. (b) Graph the output voltage vo as a function of the input drain current iD. On the graph, clearly indicate the slope and y-intercept and their values. (c) Determine the values for the physical properties RD and VDD.
