Dear student,
We have to find the Reverse Saturation Current i.e. Is.
Now, Forward Bias Voltage/Vd = 0.27 Volts
Temperature = 300'K
Diode Current/Id = 50mA
Now, we will use the current equation.
Id = Is . ( e^Vd/nVt - 1 )
Now put all the values in this given equation, we have
Is = 1.46 microA
Hope it helps.
