The current-voltage relation of a diode is given by $I = (e^{1000V/T} - 1) \; mA$,where the applied voltage $V$ is in volts and the temperature $T$ is in Kelvin. If a student makes an error of $\pm 0.01 \; V$ while measuring the voltage to obtain a current of $5 \; mA$ at $300 \; K$,what will be the error in the value of the current in $mA$?

  • A
    $0.02$
  • B
    $0.5$
  • C
    $0.05$
  • D
    $0.2$

In a $p-n$ junction diode, the current $I$ can be expressed as $I=I_{0} \left[\exp \left(\frac{e V}{k_{B} T}\right)-1\right]$, where $I_{0}$ is the reverse saturation current, $V$ is the voltage across the diode (positive for forward bias, negative for reverse bias), $I$ is the current through the diode, $k_{B}$ is the Boltzmann constant $(8.6 \times 10^{-5} \; eV/K)$, and $T$ is the absolute temperature.
