Computer science is a discipline that spans theory and practice. It requires thinking both in abstract terms and in concrete terms. Computer Science is practiced by mathematicians, scientists and engineers. Mathematics, the origins of Computer Science, provides reason and logic.
Diode Resistance Formula. The resistance of diodes is equal to the below formula: Diode resistance is equal to the thermal voltage, VT, divided by the current, Id, passing through the diode. The thermal voltage of the diode is approximately 25mV at 300K, which is a temperature that is very close to room temperature. The precise formula to calculate thermal voltage is: VT= kT/q.
As seen in the figure, the current does not increase linearly with applied voltage for a diode. One can determine a value of current (I) for a given value of applied voltage (V) from the curve, but not from Ohm's law, since the value of resistance is not constant as a function of applied voltage. Further, the current only increases significantly if the applied voltage is positive, not negative.
