FET terminals are:
# SOURCE (S) : through which the majority carriers enter the channel.
Conventional current entering the channel at S is designated by IS.
 
# DRAIN (D) : through which the majority carriers leave the channel.
Conventional current entering the channel at D is designated by ID.
 
Drain to Source voltage is VDS.
 
# GATE (G) : is the common terminal for the other two regions surrounding the channel.
By applying voltage to G, we can control ID.
Conventional current entering the channel at G is designated by IG.
