A. Which material is better for manufacturing diodes: Silicon or gemanium? Explain why? B. Explain what happens to the dynamic resistance of the diode as the forward current increases. C. Determine the values of VD. VD2, Ip. IDz and PIV for D2 in the circuit of the figure shown below, given that ra=50 2 and R =2M2 for both diodes. Assume Practical diode model approximation. 2k + VDI- - VD2+ + ID2 4k2 IDI 12V 5V
