Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a circuit with a battery, a resistor, and a diode in series. If the battery provides 6V and the diode has a cut-in voltage of 0.7V, calculate the current flowing through the circuit when the resistor's value is 100 ohms.
💡 Hint: Remember to account for the diode's characteristics when calculating output voltage.
Explore how varying the DC offset in a circuit with a diode changes the AC signal at the output. Create a scenario where the offset shifts from 2V to 5V and describe the output behavior.
💡 Hint: Consider how the shifting of operational points can drastically affect signal visibility.
