Question
What should be the absolute value of the peak reverse current (approximate) in Ampere to recover the stored charge during the changeover from forward conduction to reverse blocking condition of a diode?, if Stored charge is 10uC and the reverse recovery time of a diode is 5us.Select one:a. 2b. None of the abovec. 8d. 1e. 4
Solution
The peak reverse current can be calculated using the formula:
I = Q / t
where: I is the peak reverse current, Q is the stored charge, and t is the reverse recovery time.
Given that Q = 10 uC = 10 * 10^-6 C (since 1 uC = 10^-6 C) and t = 5 us = 5 * 10^-6 s (since 1 us = 10^-6 s), we can substitute these values into the formula:
I = (10 * 10^-6 C) / (5 * 10^-6 s) = 2 A
So, the absolute value of the peak reverse current should be approximately 2 Ampere. Therefore, the correct answer is a. 2.
