The change in current through a junction diode is \(12 \mathrm{~mA}\) when the forward bias voltage is changed by \(0.6 \mathrm{~V}\). The dynamic resistance is

  1. A \(500 \Omega\)
  2. B \(300 \Omega\)
  3. C \(150 \Omega\)
  4. D \(250 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(500 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Change in current through junction diode, \[ \Delta=1.2 \mathrm{~mA}=1.2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A} \] Change in forward bias voltage, \(\Delta V=0.6 \mathrm{~V}\) Dynamic resistance, \[ R_{\text {dyn. }}=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta l}=\frac{0.6}{1.2 \times 10^{-3}}=500 \Omega \]
