Using the plot of Fig. 16.6a,

a. What is the forward voltage at a current of 50 mA (note the log scale) at room temperature (25°C).
b. What is the forward voltage at the same current as part (a) but a temperature of 125°C?
c. What can be said about the effect of temperature on the resulting voltage drop across a Schottky diode as the temperature increases?
