An ideal p - n junction diode has a current-voltage characteristic...
An ideal - junction diode has a current-voltage characteristic described by , in which the drift current is T300 0.2 \Omega
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The dynamic resistance of a diode is given by the reciprocal of the derivative of current with respect to voltage:
Given the current-voltage characteristic:
Differentiating with respect to :
\dfrac{di}{dV} =e^{eV/kT}r_d = T = 300 \text{ K}0.026 \text{ V}r_d = 0.2 \Omega and :
\dfrac{0.026}{10^{-5} e^{V/0.026}}
\dfrac{0.026}{0.2 \times 10^{-5}} =
Taking the natural logarithm on both sides:
\dfrac{V}{0.026} = \ln(
The closest value among the given options is .
