Hello. I am confused by where the drain and the source are located in a P channel enhancement mosfet. Is the source on the top or the bottom? I have attached two photos for reference. Thanks.
2. If I apply zero volts to the gate of a p channel mosfet, and 5 volts to the top (assuming that the top is the source), because there is a negative voltage difference between the gate the top (source), the mosfet will turn on correct? Even though it says that there must be a negative voltage applied to the gate to turn on a p channel enhancement mosfet, using two positive ones in this scenario would work as well? Thanks.
I have attached data sheet for mosfet below.
