The input voltage V1 of the circuit the circuit is 2V and resistor has a resistance of 1KΩ. The cut-in voltage of the silicon diode is 0.7V and the reverse saturation current is 10^-8A. The temperature at which diode operates is 30°C. The voltage across resistor when diode starts conducting is _________________(a) 0.7V(b) 1.3V(c) 0.306V(d) 1.7VThis question was addressed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.This interesting question is from Characteristic Equation of Diode-2 topic in chapter Diode Circuit of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Right option is (b) 1.3V

To EXPLAIN: V1 = IR1 + VD

For silicon DIODE, cut-in VOLTAGE is 0.7V.

Hence IR1 = 2-0.7 = 1.3V

Drop across the RESISTOR is 1.3V.
