Find the applied voltage on a forward biased diode if the current is 1mA and reverse saturation current is 10-10. Temperature is 25°C and takes ideality factor as 1.5.

Find the applied voltage on a forward biased diode if the current is 1mA and reverse saturation current is 10-10. Temperature is 25°C and takes ideality factor as 1.5. Correct Answer 0.618V

Equation for diode current I=I0×(e(V/ηVT)-1) where I0 = reverse saturation current η = ideality factor VT = thermal voltage V = applied voltage VT at T = 25+273=298 is 298/11600 = 0.0256V, η = 1.5, I = 1mA, I0 = 10-10A
