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` ?

Explanation

(a) 0.0629 A, (b) 2.97 A, ( c) 0.336 `Omega`
(d) For both the voltages, the current I will be almost equal to `I_(0)`, showing almost infinite dynamic resistance in the reverse bias.
