VI characteristics of a diode

F3 Vilas Engineering 8.12.2022 D2

The value resistance of a diode is equal to the slope of VI characteristics of the diode.

The slope of the diode is given by:

\(R_d={Δ V\over Δ I}\)

where, Rd = Diode Resistance

ΔV = V2 - V1 = Change in voltage

ΔI = I2 - I1 = Change in current

Calculation

Given, ΔV = 200 - 100 = 100 V

ΔI = 20 - 5 = 15 A

\(R_d={100\over 15}\)

Rd = 6.66 Ω
