Tutorial 5

This document contains 4 tutorial problems on diodes and diode circuits. Problem 1 involves determining the values of IS and n for a diode based on two given current-voltage data points. Problem 2 involves analyzing the current and voltage in a circuit with an LED. Problem 3 uses an ideal diode model to analyze a circuit with two diodes. Problem 4 determines the maximum resistance value for a voltage regulator and the maximum power dissipation in the resistor to maintain a constant load voltage over varying source and load conditions.
