The correct Answer is:
To find the forward bias resistance of the diode, we can use the formula for resistance in terms of voltage and current changes: \[ R = \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta I} \] ### Step 1: Identify the changes in voltage and current. - The initial voltage (\(V_i\)) is 0.6 V. - The final voltage (\(V_f\)) is 0.7 V. - The initial current (\(I_i\)) is 5 mA. - The final current (\(I_f\)) is 15 mA. ### Step 2: Calculate the change in voltage (\(\Delta V\)). \[ \Delta V = V_f - V_i = 0.7 \, \text{V} - 0.6 \, \text{V} = 0.1 \, \text{V} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the change in current (\(\Delta I\)). \[ \Delta I = I_f - I_i = 15 \, \text{mA} - 5 \, \text{mA} = 10 \, \text{mA} \] Since we need to convert milliampere to amperes: \[ \Delta I = 10 \, \text{mA} = 10 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{A} = 0.01 \, \text{A} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the values into the resistance formula. \[ R = \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta I} = \frac{0.1 \, \text{V}}{0.01 \, \text{A}} = 10 \, \Omega \] ### Step 5: Final calculation. The forward bias resistance of the diode is: \[ R = 10 \, \Omega \] ### Summary of the solution: The forward bias resistance of the diode is \(10 \, \Omega\). ---
