When a silicon p-n junction is in forward biased condition with a series resistance, it has a knee voltage of 0.6 V . If 5 mA of current flows in it when the p-n junction is connected with a 2.6 V bat

Question

When a silicon p-n junction is in forward biased condition with a series resistance, it has a knee voltage of $0.6 V$ . If $5 mA$ of current flows in it when the p-n junction is connected with a $2.6 V$ battery, the value of the series resistance is

Options:

Answer:

C

Solution:

$R = \frac{(2.6 - 0.6)}{5 \times 10^{- 3}} = 400 Ω$

TestHub · Accepted Answer

R = 2.6 - 0.6 5 × 10 - 3 = 400 Ω
