Question 1

What is the behavior of a diode under forward bias?

  • Blocks current
  • Allows current to flow
  • Stops conduction

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how connection affects current direction.

Question 2

True or false: In reverse bias, the current stays constant until breakdown occurs.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the behavior when connected in reverse.

Question 1

If the reverse saturation current (I0) of a diode is 10 Β΅A and the applied voltage is -5V, what will be the current through the diode?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how reverse bias works in keeping the current at a specific level.

Question 2

For a forward-biased silicon diode with an I0 of 1 Β΅A, calculate the diode current at 0.7V assuming room temperature.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Plug the numbers into the equation you learned and calculate.
