HW9.1. Diodes
Consider the circuit shown below. Assume $V_{in} = 12.6$ V and
diode $V_F = 0.7V$.
Vin
R1
2 k$\Omega$
i_D1
D1
R2
D2
Part (a). Solve for the smallest value of R2 which will cause
diode D1 and D2 to turn on.
$R_2(min) =$
number (rtol=0.01, atol=1e-05)
$\Omega$
?
Part (b). Find $i_{D1}$, the current through diode D1 adn D2, for
$R2 = 1k \Omega$
$i_{D1} =$
number (rtol=0.01, atol=1e-05)
mA
