Hi everyone, I've got a bit of a problem, I have question I need to answer for college, I'm just wondering if anyone as any ideas.
I have a DC voltage source, a diode and a load resistor of 25Ohms. The threshold voltage of the diode is 0.6V the slope resistance is 0.015Ohms.
I need to know the current int the circuit and voltage across the resistor, the drop of voltage across the diode and the power loss in the diode.
Am I right in thinking I need to add the resistances together before working out the current?
If anyone could help I would be very grateful.
