Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a circuit with a given voltage source and unknown resistor values to get a specific voltage across a diode. Show your calculations using Thevenin’s theorem.
💡 Hint: Find the Thevenin equivalent and use the resistor values you choose to see the voltage across the diode.
Given a circuit with an ideal diode in forward bias, find the input voltage required for a specific output current of 10mA given the resistance connected. Show the calculations.
💡 Hint: The output current determines the voltage drop based on the resistor connected in series.
