Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A diode is implemented in a circuit. If the temperature of the circuit increases significantly, how would you predict the behavior of the diode under both forward and reverse biases?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the relationships between charge carriers, temperature, and the components of the diode.

Question 2

In a lab setting, you observe that a certain PN junction diode has a very low reverse saturation current. What does this imply about the properties of the diode, and how could it influence its applications?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the implications of efficiency in semiconductor devices.
