Question 3: If we assume the reverse current is -99 pA, the built-in voltage is 0.64 V,
and the applied voltage Va is -26 V, what reverse R-G current in pA would we expect if
the applied voltage Va is changed to -1 V. This is for an abrupt junction silicon diode at
room temperature. Answer should be to three significant digits with fixed point notation.
