The junction diode in the following circuit requires a minimum current of $1 \, mA$ to be above the knee point $(0.7 \, V)$ of its $I-V$ characteristic curve. The voltage across the diode is independent of current above the knee point. If $V_B = 5 \, V$,then the maximum value of $R$ so that the voltage is above the knee point will be:

  • A
    $4.3 \, k\Omega$
  • B
    $860 \, k\Omega$
  • C
    $4.3 \, \Omega$
  • D
    $860 \, \Omega$
