To show that the dynamic plate resistance \( R_d \) of a diode is given by the formula \( R_d = \frac{2V}{3i} \), where \( V \) is the plate voltage and \( i \) is the plate current, we will use the Langmuir-Child equation. The steps are as follows: ### Step 1: Write the Langmuir-Child Equation The Langmuir-Child equation relates the plate current \( i \) to the plate voltage \( V \) and is given by: \[ i = C V^{\frac{3}{2}} \] where \( C \) is a constant. ...
