Here is a link ofto a Falstad simulation:

Link to simulation 1

Image of circuit from simulation 1

The NMOS is connected to the VDD, but when it is turned off we have VSD=0,435 V. Why is the drop not 1,2 V?

The reason I don't understand this is that when the NMOS is off, we are not able to attract any electrons from the p-substrate in the NMOS, so how does it not completely shut the current off and we have a voltage drop of 1,2 V, instead of 0,435 V?

When we swap the drain and source in the NMOS the drop will be 1,2 V, why does it then work? Heres

Here's another simulation  :

Look at the left case. Here when the two NMOS on top isare turned off, they have an intermediate voltage drop, but here it doesn't matter where the drain and souce issource are?

When the NMOS is connected to VDD and turned off, why does it not block the current completely?
