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
When the reverse bias voltage bias voltage changes from 1 v to 2 V the current will become equal to

A

`2 I_(0)`

B

`I_(0)`

C

`-I_(0)`

D

`-2 I_(0)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The current will be almost equal to `I_(0)` (opposite in nature ) for both the voltage showing infinte dynamic resistance in the reverse bias
`I= - I_(0) =-5 xx 10^(12) A`

Reverse bias applied to a junction diode

In which case is the junction diode is not reverse bias-

In a p-n junction diode, the currect I can expressed as I=I_(0) exp((eV)/(2k_(B)T)-1) where I_(0) is called the reverse saturation current, V is the voltage across the diode and is positive for forward bias and negative for reverse bias, and I is the current through the diode, K_(B) is the Boltzmann constant (8.6 xx 10^(-5) eV//K) and T is the absolute temperature. If for a given diode I_(o) = 5 xx 10^(-12) A and T = 300 K , then (a) What will be the forward current at a formward voltage of 0.6V ? (b) What will be the increase in the current if the voltage across the diode is increased to 0.7 V ? ( c) What is the dynamic resistance ? (d) What will be current if reverse bias voltage changes from 1 V to 2 V ?
