The gate of a MOSFET, or Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, is the control element that determines the conductivity of the channel between the source and drain. By applying voltage to the gate, the 
Flow of electrons through the channel can be modulated, allowing the MOSFET to function as a switch or amplifier in electronic circuits.

    A MOSFET's gate can be viewed as possessing capacitive properties.

    For the gate voltage of a MOSFET to rise, its gate input capacitance must first be charged.

    Until this charging occurs, there is no increase in the gate voltage.

    The MOSFET remains in an off state until a specific condition is met.
