To find out the qualitative response to changes in Vgs and Vds, consider Vgs =0. In response to a small applied voltage Vds, a n-channel JFET acts as a simple semiconductor resistor and Id increases linearly with Vds. With increasing current, the ohmic voltage drop between the source and the channel region reverse biases the junction and the conducting portion of the channel begins to constrict. because of the ohmic drop along the length of the channel itself, the constriction is not uniform but is more pronounced at distances father from the source. Eventually, a Vds is reached at which the channel is "pinched off". At this voltage, Id begins to level off. and approach a constant value. It is not possible for the channel to close completely and reduce Id to zero. If that were the case, then the ohmic drop required to provide the back biasing would be lacking.
Id is not equal to zero at Pinch off voltage.
Thus, pinch off voltage can be defined as the gate reverse voltage that removes all the free charge from the channel.

How jfet works?
A Jfet works by applying voltage to the drain of the jfet. A jfet will then conduct across from drain to source.
What is cut off voltage of jfet if its pinch off voltage is 5v?
5v
How can you use a jfet as a two terminal current source?
A JFET (Junction Field Effect Transistor) can be used as a two-terminal current source by operating it in the saturation region. By applying a fixed gate-source voltage (Vgs) that is less than the threshold voltage, the JFET allows a constant drain-source current (Id) to flow, which is relatively independent of the drain-source voltage (Vds) due to its high output resistance. This configuration effectively isolates the current source from any variations in the load, making it a reliable current source for various applications.

What is saturation current for JFET?
The saturation current for a Junction Field-Effect Transistor (JFET) is the maximum drain current (Id) that can flow through the device when it is in saturation mode, meaning the gate-source voltage (Vgs) is sufficiently negative to fully pinch off the channel but not so negative as to turn the device off completely. This current is largely determined by the physical characteristics of the JFET, including the device's geometry and doping levels. The saturation current is typically denoted as Idss, which represents the drain-source current when the gate-source voltage is zero (Vgs = 0). This parameter is crucial for understanding the JFET's operation and its transfer characteristics.

Why the n-jfet is operated with the negative voltage not the positive voltage?
In a JFET the only insulation between the gate and the channel is a reverse biased diode junction, if this junction becomes forward biased then the gate and channel are effectively shorted and the device no longer acts as a transistor (it will act as a forward biased diode instead). In the n-channel JFET, the gate is the P-side of this diode and the channel is the N-side of this diode. To keep this diode reverse biased (and the device operating as a transistor) therefor the gate MUST always be maintained at a voltage more negative than the most negative section of the channel.
