Question

what is reverse saturation current for ge diode which passes a current of 10 mA at a temperature 27°c for a forward bias of 700mV​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.723*10^{-14} Ampere

Explanation:

The formula to calculate reverse saturation current is :

I=I(s){exp[(eV)/KT] - 1}

Here I is the current that passes through the diode ,in our case it is 10 mA.

I(s) is the saturation current, we need to find. e- is the electron charge which is equal to 1.602*10^(-19). V is the applied voltage ,that is 700 mV. k is boltzman constant is 1.30* 10^(-23)j/K. T is the temperature in Kelvin, 300 K. Make I(s) subject and put the given values in the equation.
