The differential resistance $r_\rm D$ of a diode was already described in the chapter. This is necessary if a diode is to be simulated via a simplified diode model (voltage source + resistor + ideal diode, if applicable). In Abbildung 1, see the differential conductance $g_{\rm D}={{1}\over{r_\rm D}}$ as the local slope at the desired operating point. Calculate the differential resistance $r_\rm D$ at forward current $I_\rm D=15 ~\rm mA$ for room temperature ($T=293~\rm K$) and $m=1$ from Shockley's equation: ${I_{\rm F} = I_{\rm S}(T)\cdot ({\rm e}^{\frac{U_\rm F}{m\cdot U_\rm T}}-1)}$ with $U_{\rm T} = \frac{k_{\rm B} \cdot T}{q}$ with $q=1~\rm e$. To do this, first, calculate the general formula for the differential resistance $r_\rm D$.
