Homework Statement
I'm trying to calculate what voltage change will compensate for a temperature change of 1 degree for a diode.
I have set up the circuit, taken down results and plotted the graph (its non-linear). So I re-plotted it using natural logs of I, and got a straight line with a gradient. Now I'm lost as to how to answer this question.
Homework Equations
I= Is x (e^(eV/kT) -1)
It's the characteristic equation for V vs I for a diode.
The Attempt at a Solution
I took natural logs to get:
ln I = lnIs x (eV/kT - 0)
Then said the gradient is equal to e/kt.
But then where do I go from there?
A little push in the right direction would be great!
Thanks in Advance!
