### Small signal analysis
The current from the drain to the source is equal to:
$$i_D=g_mV_{gs}$$
For small signals, a transistor is equivalent to, where $r_0=\frac{1}{\lambda I_D}=\frac{V_A}{I_D}$:

It can be assumed that the differential resistance is always significantly smaller than any other external resistance: $r_o << R_d$.
To solve for the output resistance of the amplifier, turn off all sources and take the Thevenin resistance $R_{DS}$.
### Common-drain amplifiers / source followers
The input resistance of common amplifiers is infinity.

As $V_{gs}$ is not necessarily zero, dependent sources must be left in when solving for output resistance, and so a small test source at the point of interest is required.
