Continue to Chat4.50 In a particular circuit application, ten “20-mA diodes” (a 20-mA diode is a diode that provides a 0.7-V drop when the current through it is 20 mA) connected in parallel operate at a total current of 0.1 A. For the diodes closely matched, what current flows in each? What is the corresponding small-signal resistance of each diode and of the combination? Compare this with the incremental resistance of a single diode conducting 0.1 A. If each of the 20-mA diodes has a series resistance of 0.2 Ω associated with the wires bonded to the junction, what is the equivalent resistance of the 10 parallel-connected diodes? What connection resistance would a single diode need in order to be totally equivalent? (Note: This is why the parallel connection of real diodes can often be used to advantage.) https://electricalstudent.com/4-50-in-a-particular-circuit-application-ten-20-ma-diodes-a-20-ma-diode-is-a-diode-that-provides-a-0-7-v-drop-when-the-current-through-it-is-20-ma-connected-in-parallel-operate-at/
