At room temperature the barrier potential in a silicon diode is

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Electronic Devices and Circuits - Quiz(MCQ)

0.1 V

0.3 V

0.7 V

1 V

Correct Answer : Option (C) : 0.7 V

Explanation : This 0.7 V is also called cut in voltage. When forward voltage is 0.7 V or less there is no current.
