If the reverse saturation current (I0) of a diode is 10 µA and the applied voltage is -5V, what will be the current through the diode?
💡 Hint: Consider how reverse bias works in keeping the current at a specific level.
For a forward-biased silicon diode with an I0 of 1 µA, calculate the diode current at 0.7V assuming room temperature.
