Chapter 41, Problem 40P

To determine

To:

(a) verify if the expression given below predicts the behavior of a junction rectifier by graphing I versus V.

$I= I_{0 }(e^{\frac{eV}{kT}}-1)$

(b) calculate, for the same temperature, the ratio of currents for 0.50 V forward bias to the current  for 0.50 V  back bias.
