The forward characteristic of a diode is shown in Fig. Q3. Use the characteristic to determine (a) the current flowing in the diode when a forward voltage of 0.2 V is applied, (b) the voltage dropped across the diode when a forward current of 4 mA is flowing in it, (c) the resistance of the diode when the forward voltage is 0.6 V and (d) whether the diode is a Ge or Si type.
