Is MOSFET a symmetric device?

MOSFET is a symmetrical device, therefore the answer is yes. however if in your circuit design you have tied your body to one of the terminals, you would want that terminal to be the source.

How to Calculate Drain Current of MOSFET Small Signal?

Drain Current of MOSFET Small Signal calculator uses Drain Current = 1/(Electron Mean Free Path*Output Resistance) to calculate the Drain Current, Drain Current of MOSFET Small Signal is 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 is denoted by i_d symbol.

How to calculate Drain Current of MOSFET Small Signal using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Drain Current of MOSFET Small Signal, enter Electron Mean Free Path (λ) & Output Resistance (R_out) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Drain Current of MOSFET Small Signal calculation can be explained with given input values -> 79.93605 = 1/(2.78*4500).
