Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a circuit using a diode to rectify an AC voltage source. Describe how the output voltage changes with respect to the AC input.
💡 Hint: Think about how the diode interacts with both positive and negative peaks of AC.
Question 2
You have a circuit comprising a diode and a resistor. When V_in = 5V and R = 500Ω (assuming V_γ = 0.7V), calculate the output voltage when the diode is forward-biased.
💡 Hint: Use Ohm's law to help identify current flow through the circuit.
