Consider a silicon diode with η=1.2. Find the change in voltage if the current changes from 0.1mA to 10mA.(a) 0.154V(b) 0.143V(c) 0.123V(d) 0.165VThe question was posed to me during an interview for a job.Enquiry is from Characteristic Equation of Diode-1 in portion Diode Circuit of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Correct answer is (b) 0.143V

The best I can EXPLAIN: Equation for diode current

I=I0×(e^(V/ηVT)-1)where I0 = reverse SATURATION current

η = ideality factor

VT = thermal voltage

V = APPLIED voltage

η = 1.2, I2 = 10mA, I1 = 0.1mA and take VT = 0.026V
