Hello,
In lab the reverse leakage current of 4 different diodes was measured. Then ranked from smallest to biggest. Then we are asked to decide which diode would be most suitable for charging up a capacitor and allowing the capacitor to keep its charge for the longest period of time?
I think it would be the one with the smallest current because it would allow the capacitor to discharge slower. However, it would take longer to charge. Am I right?
