Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a circuit with a voltage source of 12V, a diode with a threshold of 0.7V in series with a resistor of 1kΩ. Calculate the current flowing through the circuit using both graphical and iterative methods.

💡 Hint: Use KCL and KVL to guide your iterative calculations.

Challenge 2 Hard

Compare the outcomes of small signal equivalent circuit analysis and direct analysis for a diode circuit with 5V input and a load resistor of 500Ω. Which method is likely to be more useful and why?

💡 Hint: Consider when linearization simplifies real circuit analysis.
