We know that in FET, Ig = 0.

1. Vgs = 8 V.

2. By Shockley's equation (make sure that Vgs and Vp have equal signs).

Id=Idss (1- (Vgs/Vp) ) ^2.
Id = 10m (1- (-8/-80) ^2.
Id = 0.

3. By KVL on the right side,

-16 + 2 (Id) + Vds =0,
-16 + 2 (0) + Vds =0,
Vds = 16 V => answer.

I agree with @RHYDER.

That's my solution too. Take a loop from gate to source. The 1 Megaohm resistor is shorted so you will get Vgs = -Vgg and Vgg is equal to 8v and add the negative sign so its -8v.

Do the Shockley equation and you will find that ID is equal to zero.

And finally DSloop. Vds = 16v.

When Vgs = Vp.
Then Vds = Vdd.

What is Idss?
Why we took Vgs = -8.

As we know: Vp = Vgs(off).

KVL@ GS loop...
then Vgs=-8V
then use shockley equation
Id=Idss(1-(Vgs/Vp))^2
Id=0A
then KVL@ DS loop
16V-Id(2K)-Vds=o
Vds=16V

How can we find?
