Question

A diode has a power rating of 5W. If the diode voltage is 3.6V and the diode current is 1.75A, what is the power dissipation?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Power = current * voltage

Power = 3.6 * 1.75

Power = 6.3 watts.

I hope this diode does not have to do this for very long. The power dissipation is above the diode's rated power -- a condition that won't last forever.

The power dissipation is 6.3 watts.
