Q.

Read the following passage carefully:

Attempt the following questions based on the passage:

When the diode is forward biased, it is found that beyond forward voltage V = Vk , called knee voltage, the conductivity is very high. At this value of battery biasing for p-n junction, the potential barrier is overcome and the current increases rapidly with increase in forward voltage. When the diode is reverse biased, the reverse bias voltage produces a very small current about a few microamperes which almost remains constant with bias. This small current is reverse saturation current.

Attempt the following questions based on the passage:

The V-I characteristic of a diode is shown in the figure. The ratio of forward to reverse bias resistance is

Forward bias resistance,

R1=ΔVΔI=0.80.7(2010)×103=0.110×103=10 Ω

Reverse bias resistance,

R2=101×106=107 Ω

Then, the ratio of forward to reverse bias resistance

R1R2=10107=106
