Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Analyze a circuit with a diode (0.7V forward voltage drop) and a 10kΩ resistor with 5V input. How would you graphically determine the current through the diode?
💡 Hint: Follow the steps of plotting each component and finding where they meet.
Create a numerical example calculating the diode current using the iterative method, given an initial guess of voltage. How does your result compare to KCL?
💡 Hint: Iterate through calculations while checking both KCL and KVL compliance.
