If negative voltage is applied to the gate of a NMOS, it repels electrons from the channel region towards the bulk of the p-substrate and attaract holes from p-substrate towards the channel. The recombination between holes and electrons causes a deplation of majority carriers in the channel. Enough nagative gate voltage can cause the channel depleted of majority carriers and cuts off the current between the source and the drain. The least negative gate voltage causing this is called gate-source cut off voltage.
as voltage on the gate increases it will reach a point where any further input will not effect further.
to made reverse bias junction between gate to source
since in an FET the value of the current depends upon the value of the voltage applied at the gate and drain...so it is known as voltage controlled device.. for example..in a mosfet..the current from drain to source depends upon the width of the depletion layer..which in turn depends upon the voltage applied on the gate.. so that is the reason
A depletion MOSFET is a MOSFET that is normally on. It outputs maximum current when the gate-source voltage is 0V. As the gate-source voltage increases, the drain-source channel becomes more resistive and the current decreases. An enhancement MOSFET has the opposite behavior. It is normally off. It outputs no current when the gate-source voltage is 0V. As the gate-source voltage increases, the drain-source channel becomes less resistive and the current increases.
Depending on the type, in a simple explanation mosfets are similar to a relay, in the sense that when current is applied to one leg, the other two legs are connected together. Some mosfets also pass through the supplied current that closes the mosfet, and some do not.
Pinch off voltage is defined as the gate-to-source voltage at which drain-to-source current is zero.Proof:-(In the saturation region)IDS = IDSS [1- (VGS/VP)]2When IDS = O ,VGS = VP

1. Look up the data sheet (specification sheet) and get it from there. 2. Set it up with a voltage supply from source to drain, apply a bias voltage to the gate, measure the bias voltage to just cut off the drain current.
Drain-to-source breakdown voltage (BVdss) should not change appreciably until the gate-to-source voltage (Vgs) approaches the device's threshold voltage (Vth). In that case, the drain to source voltage becomes the product of the drain-to-source current (Ids) and the device's on-state resistance (Rds-on) at the given Vgs.
as voltage on the gate increases it will reach a point where any further input will not effect further.

An e only(enhancement) ÊMOSFET is off at zero gate-source voltage. Meanwhile, a de (depletion enhancement)ÊMOSFET is on at zero gate-source voltage.

For the Proper operation of NMOS Transistor Substrate and Source are connected to the Lower potential, If we are applying a positive Gate voltage with respected to Source Similarly The gate voltage is positive to Substrate Hence due to the body voltage, electrons are accumulated under the oxide layer and forming a channel for conduction.
An enhancement MOSFET doesn't conduct current across the drain to source unless a voltage is applied to the gate. When sufficient voltage is applied to the gate of the transistor, currents flows from drain to source. A MOSFET acts as a switch or amplifier in a circuit.
fet is a voltage controlled device...cut off voltage in fet refers to that voltage of the gate - source junction at which the current flow through channel is zero
