MCQ
For germanium diode, the junction voltage is about _____.
  • A
    0.7V
  • B
    0.3
  • C
    0.6V
  • D
    3V

Answer

  1. 0.3

Explanation:

The junction voltage Vo​ for a germanium diode is 0.3 V at room temperature. This potential opposes the diffusion of electrons from n-side and holes from p-side. It is 0.7 eV for Si at room temperature.
