Using the characteristics of Fig. 6.11:

a. Determine the difference in drain current (for V_DS > V_P) between V_GS = 0 V and V_GS = −1 V.

b. Repeat part (a) between V_GS = −1 and −2 V.

c. Repeat part (a) between V_GS = −2 and −3 V.

d. Repeat part (a) between V_GS = −3 and −4 V.

e. Is there a marked change in the difference in current levels as V_GS becomes increasingly negative?

f. Is the relationship between the change in V_GS and the resulting change in I_D linear or non-linear? Explain.
