The correct option is 4

Concept:

Diode current for a forward bias voltage V is given by:

\(I = {I_0}\left( {{e^{\frac{{{V}}}{{\eta {V_T}}}}} - 1} \right)\)

Where η = ideality factor

I0 = Reverse saturation current

VT = KT/q = Thermal voltage

Substituting the value of VT, we get:

I = I0(eqv/ηKT - 1)
