How to Evaluate Current Entering Drain Terminal of NMOS?

Current Entering Drain Terminal of NMOS evaluator uses Drain Current in NMOS = Process Transconductance Parameter in NMOS*Width of Channel/Length of the Channel*Drain Source Voltage*(Overdrive Voltage in NMOS-1/2*Drain Source Voltage) to evaluate the Drain Current in NMOS, The current entering drain terminal of NMOS, MOSFETs only switch current flowing in one direction; they have a diode between source and drain in the other direction (in other words, if the drain (on an N-channel device) falls below the voltage on the source, the current will flow from the source to the drain). Drain Current in NMOS is denoted by Id symbol.
