Assume you raise the drain voltage. The electrons would move from source to drain proportional to the voltage.
How many electrons could move would depend on the gate voltage.
If the gate voltage was low, then there is low density of electrons, and low current.
If the gate voltage was low, then there is low density of electrons in the sheet, and low current.
If the gate voltage is high, then the electron density in the sheet is high, and there can be a high current, although, the electrons do
have a maximum speed, so at some point the current does not change as fast with the gate voltage.

Because, why did the area underneath the gate turn blue? Why did the blue color change suddenly? And did you realize I never
in this chapter explained how the field effect worked?
Because:
- Why did the area underneath the gate turn blue?
- Why is it only a thin sheet that turns blue?
- Where did the electrons for the sheet come from?
- Why did the blue color change suddenly?
- How does the brightness of the blue change with gate-source voltage?
- How can the electrons stay in that sheet when we connect the bulk to 0 V?
- Why is there not a current from the bulk (0 V) to drain?
- Why does not the electrons jump from source to drain? It's a gap, the same as from the sheet to drain?
And did you realize I never in this chapter explained how the field effect worked?
