Read the diode class notes.
For the circuit shown,
- R = 31.6 Ω
- VS = 1 V

The saturation current parameter for the diode is IS = 8.0e-15 A.
Using the exact diode equation, find the value of R so that the diode current will be iD = 9 mA. (Do not use the on-off model for the diode.).
Assume room temperature operation. (kT/q = 0.0258 V).
