  1. The reverse saturation current of a Si-based p-n junction diode increases 32 times due to a rise in ambient temperature. If the original temperature was 40°C, what is the final temperature?
    1. 90°C
    2. 72°C
    3. 45°C
    4. 50°C
Correct Option: A

We know that

I'0 = I0 2
Tf – Ti
2

32I0 = I0 2
Tf – 40
10

or 32 = 2
Tf – 40
10

or 25 = 2
Tf – 40
10

or 5 =
Tf – 40
10

or Tf = 90°C
Hence alternative (A) is the correct choice.
