Assuming in forward bias condition there is a voltage drop of \(0.7\) V across a silicon diode, the current through diode \(D_1\) in the circuit shown is ________ mA. (Assume all diodes in the given circuit are identical) 

In the following \(p\text{–}V\) diagram, the equation of state along the curved path is given by \[ (V-2)^2 = 4ap, \] where \(a\) is a constant. The total work done in the closed path is: 
Semiconductors are a crystalline solid materials, whose electrical conductivity lies between a conductor and an insulator. Semiconductors are mainly used in the manufacturing of electronic devices like capacitors, transistors, diodes, Integrated circuits, etc.
