Question

For an enhancement-mode MOSFET, the gate-to-source voltage must be increased in magnitude above a critical value to initiate current conduction from source-to-drain. What is the name of this critical voltage and its symbol? If the gate-to-source voltage is below this level, the transistor is said to be in what mode?
