3. DIODE DC RESISTANCE
Dc resistance is calculated at the operating condition.
Quescent Condition:
Vf = .792 V
If= .2 mA
Rdc= Vf/If =.792/.2 K Ohm = 3.96 K Ohm
Quescent Condition:
Vf= .924 V
If= 4.06 mA
Rdc= Vf/If =.924/4.06 K Ohm = .228 K Ohm = 228 Ohm
NOTE:
Dc resistance is a function of forward current of diode. It is inversely
proportional to If.

From the plot it is clear that both dc as well as dynamic resistance decreases
with increase in current but at each point dc resistance is higher than dynamic
resistance.
