1016 atoms /cm3 and ND = 1014 atoms /
cm3 at room temperature is forward
biased with a 0.15 volt. Plot the carrier
concentration and hole and electron
current densities as a function of
distance. Assume junction area as 2
mm2, diffusion length of electrons and
holes as 0.04 cm and 0.05 cm
respectively.
(Assume Dn = 100 cm2 / sec and Dp =
50 cm2 / sec)

∴ np = 6.25 × 1016 atoms / cm3
Now we know that,
Pn (o) = Pno (ev/vT -1)
= 6.25 × 1012 × (e0.15/0.0259 –1)
Pn (o) = 2.04 × 1015
& np(o) = npo (ev/vT -1)
= 6.26 × 1010 (e0.15 / 0.0259–1)
∴ np(o) = 2.04 × 1013
Now Ln = 0.04 cm and Lp = 0.05 cm
∴ np(x) = np(o) e–x/Ln
∴ np(x) = 2.04 × 1013 e–x/0.04
& Pn(x) = Pn(o) e–x/Lp
∴ Pn(x) = 2.04 × 1015 e–x/0.05

θ2 both operate in active region with VBE1

a) Find the currents IB1, IC1, IE1, IB2, IC2,
IE2, I1, I2

Applying KVL in loop (1)
– 9.6 + (106) IB2 + 0.7 + 0.7 + 0.1 IE1
= 0 (i)
Now IE2 = IB1
∴ (1 + B2) IB2 = IB1
& IE1 = (1+B1) IB1
= (1+B1) (1+B2) IB2
IE1 = 76 × 51 × IB2
∴ IE2 = 3876 IB2
∴ Equation (I) become,
– 9.6 + 106 IB2 + 0.7 + 0.7 + 0.1 ×
3876 IB2 = 0
∴ 493.6 IB2 = 8.2
∴ IB2 = 0.01661 mA
∴ IB2 = 16.61 μA
∴ IC2 = B2 IB2
= 50 × 0.01661
∴ IC2 = 0.83 mA
& IE2 = IB2 + IC2
= 0.01661 + 0.83
IE2 = 0.8472 mA
Now IE2 = IB1
∴ IB1 = 0.8472 mA
∴ IC1 = B1 IB1
= 75 × 0.8472
∴ IC1 = 63.54 mA
& IE1 = IC1 + IB1
= 63.54 + 0.8472
IE1 = 64.38 mA
Now VO1 = VCC – IC1 × 0.2
= 24 – 63.54 × 0.2
∴ VO1 = 11.292 V
And VO2 = IE1 × 0.1
= 64.38 × 0.1
∴ VO2 = 6.438 V
Now again redrawing the given circuit.
Applying KVL in loop (2)
∴ -10 I2 + 100 IB2 + 0.7 + 0.7 + 0.1 IE1
= 0
∴ 10 I2 = 100 × 0.01661 + 0.7 + 0.7 +
0.1 × 64.38
∴ 10 I2 = 9.497
∴ I2 = 0.9497 mA
Now applying KCL at node B
∴ I1 = I2 + IB2
= 0.9497 + 0.01661
∴ I1 = 0.9663 mA
