A Field Effect Transistor (FET) operates as a source follower due to its configuration where the output is taken from the source terminal. In this setup, the input signal is applied to the gate, and the output voltage at the source closely follows the gate voltage, minus a small threshold voltage drop. This characteristic allows the source follower to provide a high input impedance and low output impedance, making it an effective buffer for signal amplification without significant gain.
Semiconductor.
the source current is the current that flows from the power source.
FET stands for Field Effect Transistor. The name FET comes because the gate current of a field effect transistor is zero and current present in the source conductor is due to an electric field produced by the substrate material placed between the gate and the source.
Various FET biasing circuits are as follows: 1. Fixed bias 2. Self bias 3. Potential divider bias 4. Current-Source bias
Zin=Vds/Id [Vds=drain to source voltage ; Id = drain current]
configurations of Common-source (CS), Common-drain (CD) or Source-follower (SF) and the Common-gate (CG) available for most FET devices. These three JFET amplifier configurations correspond to the common-emitter, emitter-follower and the common-base configurations using bipolar transistors.

The small signal model for the common source FET can be used for analysing the basic FET amplifierconfigurations:(i)common source(CS),(ii)commondrain(CD) or source follower,and(iii)common gate(CG). The CS amplifier which provides good voltage amplification is most frequentlyused.The CD amplifier with high input impedance andnear-unity voltage gain is used as a buffer amplifier and the CG amplifier is used as a high frequencyamplifier.The small signal current-sourcemodel for the FET in CS configuration and the voltage source model can be derived by finding the Thevenin'sequivalent for the output part of amplificationfactor,drain resistance andtransconductance/mutual conductance of the FET.
