Assume that the silicon diode in the circuit requires a minimum current of 1 mA to be above the knee point (0.7 V) of I-V characteristics. Also assume that the voltage across the diode is independent of current above the knee point. If VB = 5V, then the maximum value of R so that the voltage is above the knee point is

a
4.3 kΩ
b
2 kΩ
c
1 kΩ
d
0

detailed solution

Correct option is A

R=5−0.7V1×10−3=4.310−3Ω=4.3×103Ω=4.3kΩ
