Correct Option: B
Explanation:

At 300 K, for a diode current of 1 mA, a certain germanium diode requires a forward bias of 0.1435V, whereas a certain silicon diode requires a forward bias of 0.718 V. Under the conditions stated above, the closest approximation of the ratio of reverse saturation current in germanium diode to that in silicon diode is

  1. 1

  2. 5

  3. 4 $\times$103

  4. 8 $\times$103


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A Silicon PN junction at a temperature of 20°C has a reverse saturation current of 10 pico-Amperes (pA). The reverse saturation current at 40°C for the same bias is approximately

  1. 30 pA

  2. 40 pA

  3. 50 pA

  4. 60 pA


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The reverse saturation current doubles for every $10^\circ C$ rise in temperature as follows $I_0 (T) = I_{01} \times 2^{(T-T_1)/10}$

Thus at $40^\circ C, \ I_0 = 40\ pA$
