The diode current in a p-n junction is modeled exponentially (given below.) When the p-n junction is polarized with 0.7V and 0.75V, the currents flowing through the diode are again measured on the basis of 1.36 mA and 7.20 mA. Accordingly, what is the ideality factor? (Note: Take the thermal voltage as mV)
In the given system; Va, Vb, Vc effective value is 220V, Ly=300 mH and Ry=22 Ohms.It was observed that the yuk current is continuous when the tristorier is triggered for alpha=65 degrees; and D1the average value of the diode current was calculated as ID1 avg = 1.703A.Accordingly, calculate the average value of the current flowing through T3.
