Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Considering a silicon diode with a threshold voltage of 0.7 V, calculate the current when 1 V is applied, assuming the reverse saturation current Is is 1 mA and n = 1. The temperature is room temperature (approximately 300 K).
💡 Hint: Calculate using constants and simplify.
Question 2
Design a simple half-wave rectifier circuit using a silicon diode and explain how forward bias behavior contributes to its function.
💡 Hint: Draw the circuit and label the flow of current.
