Question: ( 4 points ) For the exponential model of diode behavior, the current flowing through a diode is very nearly equal to , = where

(4 points) For the exponential model of diode behavior, the current flowing through a diode is very nearly equal to,= where is the saturation current, is the voltage across the diode and is the thermal voltage of the p-n junction. The voltage across the diode was measured for five diodes when 1mA of current was flowing through it,=1mA ,=0.610V (1N4148 Silicon Signal Diode)=1mA ,=0.2830V (1N60P Germanium Diode)=1mA ,=0.3476V (1N34 Germanium Diode)=1mA ,=0.1971V (1N5819 Schottky Barrier Diode)=1mA ,=1.643V (Kingbright WP383SRDT red LED)
