# Exa 7.1 - 352
# Given data
O_V = 5.;# output voltage in V
V_D = 1.5;#voltage drop in V
R = (O_V - V_D)/O_V;
R = R * 10.**3.;# in ohm
print '%s %.2f' %("The resistance value in ohm is",R);
print '%s' %("As this is not standard value, use R=680 ohm which is a standard value")
The resistance value in ohm is 700.00
As this is not standard value, use R=680 ohm which is a standard value

# The value of J_s can be calculated as,

# Open circuit voltage 
V_OC = V_T*math.log( 1.+(I_lembda/J_s) );# in mV
V_OC = V_OC * 10.**-3.;# in V
print '%s %.3f' %("Open circuit voltage in V is",V_OC);

# Note: There is calculation error to evaluate the value of VOC since 26*10**-3*log(1+12.5*10**-3/2.4*10**-4) calculated as 0.10318 not 0.522 V
Open circuit voltage in V is 0.103
