A silicon pn junction diode at $T=300 \mathrm{~K}$ has a cross-sectional area of $10^{-2} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$. The length of the $\mathrm{p}$ region is $0.2 \mathrm{~cm}$ and the length of the $\mathrm{n}$ region is $0.1 \mathrm{~cm}$. The doping concentrations are $N_{d}=10^{15} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}$ and $N_{a}=10^{16} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3} .$ Determine $(a)$ approximately the series resistance of the diode and $(b)$ the current through the diode that will produce a $0.1 \mathrm{~V}$ drop across this series resistance.
