Answer:a) The forward voltage is 0.23 V
b) The current that flows

Explanation:
The forward voltage refers to the minimum voltage required for a diode to start conducting. The formula used is given by:
a) At which forward voltage does a diode allow a current equal to 10,000 Is? In terms of Is

Where:
Id denotes the diode current = 10000Is,
Vd stands for the forward voltage at which conduction begins,
Is indicates the saturation current.


By dividing through by Is,



Taking the natural log of both sides,


Multiplying through by 0.025 yields
= 0.23 V
This indicates the forward voltage at which the diode conducts a current equal to 10,000 Is is 0.23 V
b) What current flows in the same diode when the forward voltage is 0.7 V?
