Given a silicon diode with a forward voltage drop of 0.7V in a circuit where the input voltage is 2V and the resistances are as follows: R1 = 1kΩ and R2 = 2kΩ. Calculate the diode's current using the piecewise linear model.
💡 Hint: Draw the circuit to visualize the voltage drops.
In a nonlinear circuit analysis, you find that after 3 iterations, the output voltage stabilizes at 5V. What might be the implications of such stability in larger circuits?
