Q. What is the barrier potential of a silicon diode at room temperature?
Solution:
The potential barrier in the pn junction is the barrier which does not allow charge flow across the junction normally. … This resistance to the flow of charge is known as barrier potential. Barrier potential of a silicon diode at room temperature is 0.7V. Barrier potential of a germanium diode is 0.3V.
