6. Consider the circuit in the following figure with the following characteristics:
• The input voltage waveform is sinusoidal with a peak voltage (amplitude) of 30 V and a frequency of 50 Hz;
• R1 = 500 Ω; R2 = 1 kΩ;
• Diode D1 and diode D2 have the same characteristics: Vd1 = Vd2 = 0.8 V and Rd1 = Rd2 = 100 Ω.

6.1. Indicate to which VIN values diode D1 leads to.
6.2. Indicate to which VIN values diode D2 leads to.

You need to show YOUR best attempt to work YOUR homework. That is the starting point that we can use to help you get past the specific point that is causing your problems so that you can proceed.

Welcome to AAC!

What does "leads" mean in this context? There are no capacitors or inductances that would cause leading or lagging.

hi I,
Welcome to AAC.
As this is homework please post your best attempt at answering, we can then help.

I really try, but i just stay stuck in the question cause idk what i need to do. I can show u the past 5 exercises solved by me. I just dont know what i need to do for the question.

That won't work. You may be completely above board, but how do we know that the past five exercises weren't "solved" by telling other folks that you just need help on that one and, after someone here solves this one for you, that you won't go somewhere else and offer to show them the past 6 exercises solved by you, so could they just please help you with the 7th?

But that's beside the point. If you've really been working on this so hard, you should have SOMETHING to show for it, no matter how bad it might be. Show what you've got so that we have something to work with. If you are SO lost that you've sat there for hours and have come up with not one notion of how to start, then the best thing for you is to take the zero on this problem so that your instructor can see where you are deficient so that they can help you get caught up. Otherwise you will just be digging your hole deeper and deeper.

Maybe it means to show the waveform across the load (R2) and indicate what part of the waveform is produced by the action of D1 and then D2?
Try a few steps. Draw the wave shapes you expect.
Work out what is going on with just R1 and R2 in circuit.
Then, add D1, so it is R1, R2 and D1.
Then again, without D1 but with D2,
Finally with both diodes.

Just with R1 and R2= 0.014 A
R1,R2,D1 = 0.031 A
R1,R2,D2 = 0.031 A
R1,R2,D1,D2 = 0.041 A

Maybe, but it is AC. Draw the waveforms over a full cycle to understand a bit better.
Start with the voltage across R2. Then you could go to the current from the supply. That will be a bit more complicated.
If you do it in steps like above, that will help you.

v(t)=30.sin(2 π . 50 t)
I can use any number to T?

All you have to do is figure out what input voltage causes each diode to conduct.
It looks like you have 0.8v diode drop with 100 ohms in series so you have to set the circuit up like that. You can do one half cycle at a time.

My guess is that you have to find the Vin that causes each diode to conduct, then calculate the output voltage at the peak of each input half cycle.

It would help if you understood the principle of superposition.
