The ideal diode behaves as a short circuit when the current is positive and behaves as an open circuit when the current is negative
Added by James G.
Step 1
Let v_D = V_anode - V_cathode and let i_D be the current flowing from anode to cathode; i_D > 0 means current flows in the diode's forward direction. Show more…
