Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A circuit consists of a silicon diode and a resistor of 15 kΩ. If the diode voltage drop is approximated to 0.7V, calculate the expected current through the diode.
💡 Hint: Remember to apply the voltage drop across the resistor.
Question 2
In a piecewise linear model of a diode, derive the expressions for both the 'on' and 'off' conditions. How do they impact the analysis?
💡 Hint: Consider how you relate current to voltage in both models.
