I will NOT answer your questions picowatt.  Any more than I'd answer questions as to whether or not I can read - or spell - or write - or talk.  You are relying on this utterly highhanded patronising series of questions and answers to ENDORSE your opinion that I need to be spoken to at the level of an IDIOT.

I have no further intention of engaging with you unless and until you show some level of respect for my intelligence.

So NO.  I will not answer your questions.

Rosemary

Rosemary,

This is far from "opinion".  This is simplest, and most basic discussion of the well known and fully understood operation of a MOSFET, connected as indicated, under very simple DC conditions.  I doubt many readers of this thread would have any difficulty answering those three questions and understanding the concepts they relate to.

If you can not understand the simplest of concepts depicted in the drawing discussed, you will be unable to progress further with understading the current limiting action of the MOSFET in concert with the 50 ohm resistor and the applied bias voltage and how the MOSFET is biased into a linear region of operation, which is again with respect to simple DC operation.

Without being able to grasp that much, you will never be able to understand the operation of the circuit under AC conditions while it is oscillating, which is much more complex to grasp than the DC conditions.

If you do not wish to learn, that is your choice.  But do not be surprised if apparent "obfuscation" continues, due to your lack of understanding.

If two mechanics were discussing your vehicle engine using the likes of MAP, MAF, PPS, TPS, CKP, CMP, ECT, PWM, IAT, IAC, HO2S, etc, would you also accuse them of "obfuscation"?  Or would it possibly just be that you have no idea what they're talking about?  I assure you, that is merely the language of their trade.

Your advices here MileHigh - as ever - would be better applied to yourself.  I know considerably more about MOSFETs - self evidently - than either you or picowatt.  Not only that but picowatt is utterly out of line.  You - I would expect to rely on that 'Rosemary knows NOTHING' bit.   Picowatt needs to explain his argument.  He has first endorsed TK's findings - which were WRONG.  He is now endorsing Groundloop's argument - without even seeing where it goes.  And optionally - as the whim takes him - he is ALSO endorsing Poynty's argument which is possibly the only one that still has any intellectual merit.  So.  From that I'd suspect that he's ready to fall in with anything that comes along - in the hopes of something being 'right'.  And up till now he has NOT explained his argument.  I'm waiting for it.

Rosemary,

Exactly what "argument" of mine, that you feel I need to explain, are you referring to?

PW

I told you, PW. She knows more about mosfets than anybody in the world. Talk about Rdss and she can't even read the data sheet. SHE HAS NO MATH. At all. If she can't push a button on a calculator, forget about it.

And she does stuff like this just to piss people off, and it works for me.

Picowatt.  The ONLY thing that I want to learn is what EXACTLY is your argument?  Let's hear it.  Clearly put - no ambiguities - qualified use of acronyms.  Then we'll know where you're standing.  Right now.  Something that you will be able to rely on when we do our demonstrations.  I want to KNOW what your argument is.  I do NOT want to learn anything else.  No 'twaddle'.  Just clear unambiguous argument.  And something that you'll stand by when we evaluate that 'opinion' in the face of experimental and demonstrable evidence.

Here, maybe this top-secret publication from my protected vault will help in the discussion.
