For a diode the transition capacitance was 15pF. The diode is replaced with another diode of same material with twice cross sectional area. Terminal voltage remains unchanged. The capacitance of new diode is __________

For a diode the transition capacitance was 15pF. The diode is replaced with another diode of same material with twice cross sectional area. Terminal voltage remains unchanged. The capacitance of new diode is __________ Correct Answer 30pF

The equation of transition capacitance = ƸA/W Where Ƹ = permittivity of the material of diode, W = depletion width A = area of cross section Since A becomes 2A capacitance also doubles.
