If the drift current is 100mA and diffusion current is 1A what is the total current in the semiconductor diode.(a) 1.01 A(b) 1.1 A(c) 900m A(d) 10 AThis question was addressed to me in a national level competition.My query is from Quantitative Theory of the P-N Diode Currents in portion Semiconductor-Diode Characteristics of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

The correct option is (b) 1.1 A

To explain I would SAY: We know that the total current in a SEMICONDUCTOR is equal to sum of both drift current and DIFFUSION current. Total current = 1A + 100mA =1.1A.
