The i - V characteristic of a P - N junction diode is shown below. The approximate dynamic resistance of the P - N junction when a forward bias of 2 volt is applied

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The current at 2V is 400 mA and at 2.1 V it is 800 mA. The dynamic resistance in this region
`R=(DeltaV)/(Deltai)=((2.1-2))/((800-400)xx10^(-3))=0.25Omega`
