ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY - EXAMPLE 16.1 : According to Shockley equation, the I

ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY - EXAMPLE 16.1 : According to Shockley equation, the I - V characteristic of a diode is approximated by I = IS [ exp (nVD / VT) - 1 ]. For silicon, let the reverse bias saturation current IS as 0.000000000001. If n is ideality factor with value of 1.5, VT as thermal voltage drop of 0.026 V at room temperature, what is the value of current I that passes through the silicon diode in the heater of evaporator when the forward voltage drop VD = 0.026 V? Please take note that exp is the exponential function with e(1) = 2.718, e(2) = 7.389.

Answer / kangchuentat

ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY - ANSWER 16.1 : I = IS [ exp (nVD / VT) - 1 ] = 0.000000000001 [ exp (1.5 x 0.026 / 0.026) - 1 ] = 0.00000000000348 A.

By using the boundary conditions of x = 0 and x = l, where P(0) = P(l) = 0, prove by mathematical calculation that P(x) = B sin (npx / l) where p = 22 / 7 approximately, n is a rounded number. A, B and k are constants.
