What is the approximate value of voltage across the silicon diode for the diagram given?(a) +0.7 V(b) 0 V(c) +10 V(d) -10 VI had been asked this question in an online interview.My question is from Diode Basics and Equivalent Circuits topic in portion Diode Circuit of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Right answer is (d) -10 V

Explanation: -10 V. The OPERATING CHARACTERISTIC of a diode operating in the reverse bias region SUGGESTS that BEYOND a certain threshold CURRENT, the voltage across the diode is nearly constant = reverse breakdown voltage.
