Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A silicon diode has a saturation current (I_0) of 1.2 mA and an ideality factor (n) of 1.2. Calculate the current flowing through the diode at a forward voltage (V) of 0.6 V. Use the ideal diode equation.

💡 Hint: Don't forget to convert all units consistently.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate a MOSFET with a transconductance of 10 mS and a change in gate-source voltage of 1 V. Determine the change in drain current.

💡 Hint: It's linear; use the transconductance value directly.
