    in ap-n junction diode, the current I can be expressed as where  is 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,  is the Boltzmann constant  and T is the absolute temperature. If for a given diode  A and T = 300 K, then (a) What will be the forward current at forward voltage of 0-6 V ? (b) What will be the increase in current if voltage across diode is increased to 0.7 V ? (c) What is the dynamic resistance ? (d) What will be the current if reverse bias voltage changes from 1 V to 2 V ?  

    Answer:

    Statement of the given question is incorrect. The relation should be (a) Here Then (b) Now the value of i.e. Then (c) i.e. (d) In reverse bias V becomes negative in the relation so for 1 V or2 V reverse voltage the current I will be equal to thereby giving, i.e. infinite dynamic resistance.
