Question
What should be the absolute value of the peak reverse current (approximate) in Ampere to recover the stored charge during the changeover from forward conduction to reverse blocking condition of a diode?, if Stored charge is 10uC and the reverse recovery time of a diode is 5us.Select one:a. 1b. 4c. None of the aboved. 8e. 2
Solution
The peak reverse current (Irr) needed to recover the stored charge can be calculated using the formula:
Irr = Qrr / trr
where: Qrr = stored charge = 10 uC = 10 * 10^-6 C trr = reverse recovery time = 5 us = 5 * 10^-6 s
Substituting these values into the formula gives:
Irr = (10 * 10^-6) / (5 * 10^-6) = 2 A
So, the absolute value of the peak reverse current needed to recover the stored charge during the changeover from forward conduction to reverse blocking condition of a diode is approximately 2 Ampere. Therefore, the correct answer is e. 2.
