In a forward biased $PN$-junction diode,the potential barrier in the depletion region is of the form...

The junction diode in the following circuit requires a minimum current of $1 \, mA$ to be above the knee point $(0.7 \, V)$ of its $I-V$ characteristic curve. The voltage across the diode is independent of current above the knee point. If $V_B = 5 \, V$,then the maximum value of $R$ so that the voltage is above the knee point will be:
