For silicon diode barrier potential is 0.7V

\therefore I= \frac{3-0.7}{200}A=0.0115A=11.5mA

 

Knee voltage of P-N junction -

It is defined as that forward voltage at which the current through the junction starts rising rapidly with increase in voltage .

- wherein

Knee voltage for Ge is 0.3 V

Knee voltage for Si is 0.7 V
