Solution

To calculate the junction temperature (Tj), we first need to calculate the power dissipation (Pd) in the diode. The power dissipation can be calculated using the formula:

Pd = If * Vf

Substituting the given values:

Pd = 10A * 0.2V = 2W

The junction temperature can then be calculated using the formula:

Tj = Ta + (Pd * Rth_ja)

Substituting the given values:

Tj = 20 deg.C + (2W * 40 deg.C/W) = 20 deg.C + 80 deg.C = 100 deg.C

So, the junction temperature (Tj) is 100 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the correct answer is d. 100.
