Answer:
The knee voltage of the silicon diode is 0.7 volts.
Explanation:
Here we have been asked to find out the voltage across the silicon diode at the knee voltage.
The knee voltage is usually defined as the respective forward voltage in which the given current through the junction starts uprising very quickly. It is also called the cut-in voltage.
The value of the cut in voltage or the knee voltage of the silicon diode is fixed and is about 0.7 volts.
Germanium diodes have a very less knee or cut-in voltage of about 0.3 volts only.
Hence the answer is 0.7 volts.
