Diode Voltage Drop If the diode characterized in Figure $29-10$ is forward-biased by a battery and a series resistor so that there is more than $10 \mathrm{mA}$ of current, the voltage drop is always about $0.70 \mathrm{V}$ Assume that the battery voltage is increased by $1 \mathrm{V}$ a. By how much does the voltage across the diode or the voltage across the resistor increase? b. By how much does the current through the resistor increase?
