A diode has a maximum power dissipation of 0.5 watts (a) what is the maximum d.c. current allowed in the forward direction when the forward voltage drop is 1 volt? (b) what is the breakdown current that burns out the diode if the breakdown voltage is 150 V?
1
0.5 A, 3.33 mA
2
5 A, -3.33 mA
3
50 A, 3.33 mA
4
0.05 A, -3.33 mA
