Question
Consider the circuit shown. Assume that the diode () is ideal.Given V, V, and , the average value of the current through the diode is ___________ A(Round off to two decimal places)
Correct answer
1.04 to 1.14
Solution
The average current is given by . The diode conducts when , i.e., . This occurs for . The current is . Thus, A.
