in FET, Ig = 0 and Id = Is.

1. Vgs = Vg - Vs.
so, Vgs = 0 - RsId.

2. using Shockley's Equation, substitute Vgs
Id = Idss(1-(Vgs/Vp))^2.
Id = 10m (1- (-IdRs)/-8))^2.

Shift solve
Id = 2.59 mA.

3. by KVL, considering Vds = 7V,
-20 + Rd (2.59 mA) + 7 + (1k)(2.59 mA) = 0.
Rd (new) = 4.023 kΩ => answer.

Why solve for the value of RD?

Aren't these resistors already fixed in value? Then why the answer is 3.3k.

@Anomy.

Yes, you're right. The value of Id is rounded off to 3mA. So, instead of approximate analysis, we should've used the exact analysis. The correct answer is 4.023K.

I think, Id = 2.5876mA and drop near Rd as 10.41. Therefor 10.41V/2.5876mA resulting in Rd=4.023K.

Please, anyone, help me what have I done wrong in this. I used Shockley's equation and substituted Vgs=Id*Rs.
