(a)
To estimate increment in the potential difference across the diode and the resistor for a forward-bias diode connected by a battery with a series resistor so that there is 10 mA of current. The potential difference is always about 0.70 V. The battery potential difference is then increased by 1 V.
(a)
Answer to Problem 37SSC
The increase in the potential difference of the diode is 1 V.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The potential difference does not vary if the voltage across the diode is unchanged..
The increase in the potential difference of diode is 1 V because the voltage is unchanged across the diode and remains 0.70 V as given.
Conclusion:
Hence, the increase in the potential difference of the diode is 1 V.
(b)
About how much the current through the resistor increases for a forward-bias diode connected by a battery with a series resistor so that there is 10 mA of current. The potential difference is always about 0.70 V. The battery potential difference is then increased by 1 V.
(b)
Answer to Problem 37SSC
The increase in the current is
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The increase in current depends on the potential and the value of resistance.
The increase in the current is
Conclusion:
Hence, the increase in the current is
