Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A silicon diode has a reverse saturation current of 10^-14 A. Calculate the current through the diode at 0.7V at room temperature. Assume q = 1.6 Γ— 10^-19 C and k = 1.38 Γ— 10^-23 J/K.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Apply the diode equation while ensuring the correct unit conversions for temperature.

Question 2

In what scenarios would it be advantageous to use a Zener diode under reverse bias instead of a regular diode?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the implications of breakdown voltage on circuit design.
