Hi
I am a brand new member and hoping for a positive first foray into the forum.
I have what on the face of it is probably straightforward to most electrical engineers but the solution to this problem evades me.
I have a +5V supply to a 750 KOhm resistor connected to a cathode of a Shottkey diode which is grounded on the anode.
The shottkey has a specified 10uA reverse leakage at 5V.
Initially no current flows and the diode feels then the 5V and the reverse leakage current of 10uA flows this causes the resistor to drop the voltage at the cathode, as the voltage reduces the shottkey feels the drop in voltage and the current flow reduces.
What happens next, intuitively, the voltage should rise again at the cathode causing the leakage to increase again and repeat but I do not think this is how it would work.
What is the steady state result to this small arrangement.
