A forward-biased silicon diode is connected to a 12.0-V battery through a resistor. If the current is 12 mA and the diode potential difference is 0.70 V, what is the resistance?

Respuesta :

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Ohm's law for which voltage, intensity and resistance are related.

Mathematically this relationship is given as

[tex]V = IR \rightarrow R= \frac{V}{I}[/tex]

Where,

V= Voltage

I = Current

R = Resistance

The value of the given voltage is 12V, while the current is 12mA, therefore the resistance would be

[tex]R = \frac{12}{12*10^{-3}}[/tex]

[tex]R = 1000 \Omega[/tex]

Therefore the resistance is [tex]1000\Omega[/tex]
