### Circuit Analysis of NMOS Transistor in Saturation

**Circuit Description:**

The circuit diagram features an NMOS transistor with the following components:

- A +15 V power supply connected to the drain through a 2 kΩ resistor.
- The gate is connected to a voltage divider composed of a 10 MΩ resistor connected to the +15 V line and a 20 MΩ resistor connected to the ground.
- The source terminal is grounded through another 2 kΩ resistor.

**Given Parameters:**

- Threshold Voltage (\( V_{tn} \)): 0.5 V
- Transconductance parameter (\( k'_n \times \frac{W}{L} \)): 0.2 mA/V²

**Objective:**

Determine the values of:
- Drain current (\( I_D \))
- Drain-source voltage (\( V_{DS} \))

**Analysis Approach:**

To solve for \( I_D \) and \( V_{DS} \), the NMOS must be in the saturation region, which means:
\[ V_{DS} \geq V_{GS} - V_{tn} \]

Using the parameters provided, calculate:
1. The gate voltage (\( V_{GS} \)) using the voltage divider rule.
2. Use the NMOS saturation current equation to find \( I_D \):
\[ I_D = \frac{1}{2} k'_n \left(\frac{W}{L}\right) (V_{GS} - V_{tn})^2 \]
3. Determine \( V_{DS} \) with the calculated \( I_D \).

This analysis will help in understanding the operation and design of NMOS circuits in the saturation region.
