Explanation / Answer

Drain current of MOSFET 2N?7000 is not a constant. It varies if the gate to source voltage (Vgs) changes. If the value of Vgs greater than threshold voltage MOSFET starrts conduct and its the minimum value of drain current. It remains in saturation region if Vds(on)>Vgs. Vgs= Vds(on) is the end of saturation region.

?From given datasheet, it can seen that minimum drain current Id is 1 mA and maximum is 500 mA.

?The typical on state drain current at Vgs= 4.5 V, Vds=10 is 75mA as given in the datasheet.
