Question

A "1-mA diode" (i.e., one that has $v_{D}=0.7 \mathrm{V}$ at $i_{D}=$ 1 $\mathrm{mA}$ ) is connected in series with a $200-\Omega$ resistor to a $1.0-\mathrm{V}$ supply. (a) Provide a rough estimate of the diode current you would expect. (b) Estimate the diode current more closely using iterative analysis.
