SOLVED: 1. Draw the Current-Voltage (I-V) characteristic curve for a typical diode. 2. Briefly explain the diode's working principle based on an I-V curve in Part (a). 3. What is the main difference between a diode and an SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier)?

SOLVED:The current-voltage characteristic curve for a semiconductor diode as a function of temperature T is given by I=I0(e^e ΔV / kB T-1). Here the first symbol e represents Euler's number, the base of natural logarithms. The second e is the magnitude of the electron charge, the kB stands for Boltzmann's constant, and T is the absolute temperature. (a) Set up a spreadsheet to calculate I and R=ΔV / I for ΔV=0.400  V to 0.600  V in increments of 0.005  V. Assume I0=1.00 nA. (b) Plot R versus ΔV
