Current $I$ through a given $p-n$ junction when a voltage $V$ is applied across it is given by $I = I_0 \left( e^{\frac{V}{2 V_T}} - 1 \right)$, where $I_0$ and $V_T$ are constants. If $r_d(I)$ is the dynamic resistance of the junction, then $r_d(1000 I_0) = \alpha r_d(10 I_0)$, where $\alpha$ is approximately equal to

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $1/10$
  • C
    $1/100$
  • D
    $1/1000$
