GATE EC 2025 Set 1 Q53 — Diode Circuits

Explain with AI
An ideal p-n junction germanium diode has a reverse saturation current of 10μ A10 \mu \mathrm{~A} at 300 K300 \: \mathrm{ K}.

The voltage (in Volts, rounded off to two decimal places) to be applied across the junction to get a forward bias current of 100 mA100 \: \mathrm{mA} at 300 K300 \: \mathrm{K} is _______\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.

(Consider the Boltzmann constant kB=1.38×10−23 J/Kk_{\mathrm{B}}=1.38 \times 10^{-23} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{K} and the charge of an electron e=1.6×10−19Ce=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}.)
