Chapter 4, Problem 4.29

(choose chapter or problem)

When a 15-A current is applied to a particular diode, it is found that the junction voltage immediately becomes 700 mV. However, as the power being dissipated in the diode raises its temperature, it is found that the voltage decreases and eventually reaches 600 mV. What is the apparent rise in junction temperature? What is the power dissipated in the diode in its final state? What is the temperature rise per watt of power dissipation? (This is called the thermal resistance.)
