Passage II
Diode current in a p-n junction diode is given by `I-I_(0)[exp(eV)/(2kT)-1]` where `I_(0)` is the reverse saturation current V is the voltage across the diode k is the boltzmann constant and T is the abosolute temperatuer For a given diode `I_(0)=5` pA and T =300 k
The forward current at a foward voltage V=0.6 V is

Options

A. 0.05475 A
B. 0.06319 A
C. 0.04482 A
D. 0.03798 A

Explanation

To find the forward current \( I \) at a forward voltage \( V = 0.6 \, \text{V} \) for the given p-n junction diode, we will use the diode current equation:

\[ I = I_0 \left( e^{\frac{eV}{2kT}} - 1 \right) \]

### Step 1: Identify the given values
- Reverse saturation current, \( I_0 = 5 \, \text{pA} = 5 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{A} \)
