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?
-
- 90°C
- 72°C
- 45°C
- 50°C
Correct Option: A
We know that
I'0 = I0 2 | 2 |
32I0 = I0 2 | 10 |
or 32 = 2 | 10 |
or 25 = 2 | 10 |
or 5 = | 10 |
or Tf = 90°C
Hence alternative (A) is the correct choice.
