In a p-n junction diode, the current (i) varies with applied biasing voltage (V) and can be expressed as i=i0i=i_0\left(e^{ \mathrm{q} \mathrm{V}/ \mathrm{kT}}-1\right) where \mathrm{i}}_{0}=5 \times10^{-12} \mathrm{~A}isreversesaturationcurrent,kisBoltzmannconstantandis reverse saturation current, k is Boltzmann constant andq is the charge on the electron At Absolute Temperature T=300 K\mathrm{T}=300 \mathrm{~K}

Options

  1. AThe forward current is approximately 59.5 mA for a forward bias of 0.6 volt
  2. BThe current increases approximately by 2.75 A if the biasing voltage changes from 0.6 V to 0.7 V
  3. CThe dynamic resistance of p-n junction is approximately 435 mΩ435 \mathrm{~m} \Omega at the biasing voltage of 0.6 V
  4. DThe change in reverse bias current when biasing voltage change from -1 volt to -2 volt happens to be practically zero.

Correct answer

D. The change in reverse bias current when biasing voltage change from -1 volt to -2 volt happens to be practically zero.
