Solution

The diffusion capacitance (Cd) of a diode can be calculated using the formula:

Cd = ΔQ/ΔV

Where: ΔQ is the change in charge (minority carriers) and ΔV is the change in voltage.

Given: ΔQ = 1.2×10^-8 C (Coulombs) and ΔV = 2 V (Volts)

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

Cd = 1.2×10^-8 C / 2 V = 6×10^-9 F

Therefore, the diffusion capacitance of the diode is 6 nF (nanoFarads).
