You have a diode circuit with a DC voltage of 3V and an AC signal of 1.5V amplitude. What is the expected output voltage if the diode's cut-in voltage is 0.7V?
💡 Hint: Think about the condition of the diode during the maximum swing of the AC signal.
If the resistance is very high for the diode in OFF state, why is this significant for circuit analysis?
💡 Hint: Consider what happens when there is minimal current in a voltage divider.
