Physics
The value of forward voltage above which forward current increases rapidly is called-----​

Answer 1

Answer:

Knee voltage is the answer

Answer 2

The value of forward voltage above which forward current increases rapidly is called as "knee voltage" or "cut in voltage" .

- The forward voltage is the voltage drop generally across the diode when the voltage at anode is more positive than voltage at cathode.

•For Silicon it's 0.7 V

•For Germanium it's 0.3 V
