We calculate the gate voltage (V-g) dependence of charge conductance in a normal metal (NM)/two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) junction, where Rashba spin-orbit coupling and ferromagnetism exist in the 2DEG. We call this 2DEG as the ferromagnetic Rashba metal (FRM) and the chemical potential of the FRM is controlled by V-g. We clarify the physical origin of the unconventional V-g dependence of charge conductance in the NM/FRM junction found in our previous work [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 87, 034710 (2018)], in which the charge conductance increases with V-g, although the number of carries in FRM decreases. We calculate the momentum-resolved charge conductance. It is clarified that the origin of the unconventional V-g dependence is due to the nonmonotonic change in the size of the inner Fermi surface in FRM as a function of V-g.
