  1. Simple Derivation Of Diode Equation - Physics Forums

    Apr 16, 2009 · I don't think it's possible to get to that equation through a simple derivation. I remember that the continuity equation must be used (in one dimension, for simplicity) and then incorporate …

  2. How do I calculate the current in a diode? - Physics Forums

    Sep 26, 2010 · The question I have been set is "Calculate the current in a diode when the forward voltage is 0.62V and the reverse saturation current is 10pa." Homework Equations I really have no …

  3. Diode Equation and Saturation Current - Physics Forums

    Sep 14, 2015 · Diode Equation and Saturation Current DeldotB Sep 14, 2015 Current Diode Saturation

  4. Why is Reverse Saturation Current Included in the Forward Bias Diode ...

    Aug 8, 2023 · Hi all, This is not homework help or something, it is my general query. I read that ideal diode equation is given as in above equation Is is the reverse saturation current or dark saturation …

  5. Why is there reverse current in diode equation? - Physics Forums

    May 18, 2017 · When deriving diode equation, it is assumed that there's no drift. But still, in the result, we have a reverse current which is a drift... I don't get where this comes from.

  6. How Do You Calculate Current in a Diode-Resistor Series Circuit?

    Mar 25, 2017 · Helo, I am in an electronic course and we just started studying diodes. I am stuck on the following problem: Place a 100 ohm resistance in series with a diode, and plot current versus voltage …

  7. Calculating photodiode current and voltage • Physics Forums

    Jul 24, 2010 · Hi I'm pretty new to the forums. I've been searching and can't find anything on this. Can anyone show me how to calculate the current/voltage produced by a photodiode?

  8. Fullwave Rectifier: Calculate Peak Diode Current - Physics Forums

    Nov 26, 2009 · Homework Statement A 50V peak AC signal at 50Hz is fed to a 1:1 turns ratio transformer full-wave rectifier circuit. The full-wave rectifier waveform is smoothed by the use of a …

  9. Why is it not possible for D2 to be off in this diode problem?

    Feb 6, 2017 · What decides whether an ideal diode is on or off is the direction of current through it. Just by looking at the circuit, you can't assume a particular diode to be off unless it is reverse biased. If …

  10. Ideality factor - schotkky diode • Physics Forums

    Nov 27, 2006 · The discussion centers on the derivation of the ideality factor (n) for Schottky diodes, which is typically set to 1 for ideal cases but ranges from 1 to 2 for non-ideal diodes. Participants …
