Oftentimes, turning off a DC source to nowhere is actually a short to ground.
## MOSFETs
A MOSFET is a transistor. Current flows from the drain to the source, and only if voltage is applied to the gate.

In strictly DC, current passes the gate if the gate voltage is greater than the threshold voltage $V_G>V_t$. The difference between the two is known as the **overdrive voltage** $V_{ov}$:
$$V_{ov}=V_G-V_t$$
At a small $V_{DS}$, or in AC, the slope of $I_D$ to $V_{DS}$ is proportional to $V_G$. The **channel transconductance** $g_{DS}$ represents this slope, which is constant based on the **transconductance parameter** of the device.
$$\frac{I_D}{V_{DS}}=g_{DS}=k_nV_{ov}$$
Before the saturation region, the current grows exponentially:
$$\boxed{I_s=k_n(V_{ov}-\tfrac 1 2V_{DS})V_{DS}}$$
Afterward, it remains constant, based on the overdrive voltage:
$$\boxed{I_s=\frac 1 2k_nV_{ov}^2}$$
### Common-source amplifiers

Where $V_{out}=$V_{DS}$:

$|V_{ds}|>|V_{gs}|$ indicates AC voltage gain.
The gain can be modelled with Ohm's law:
$$V_{DS}=V_{DD}-I_DR_D=V_{DD}-\frac 1 2k_n(V_{GS}-V_t)R_D$$
At a certain gate voltage:
\begin{align*}
A_V&=\frac{\partial V_{DS}}{\partial V_{GS}} \\
&=-g_{DS}R_D
\end{align*}
