Figure 1 - 41 biased.

a-
 The anode of the diode is at 5 v.
 The cathode of the diode is at 8 v.
 Hence the anode is negative with respect to cathode. So The diode
is reverse-biased.
b-
 The anode of the diode is at ground (0 v).
 The cathode of the diode is at -100 v.
 Hence the anode is positive with respect to cathode. So The diode is
forward-biased.

1.5 k Ω+4.7 k Ω )
kΩ

 The anode of the diode is at 19.58 v.


 The cathode of the diode is at ground (0 v).
 Hence the anode is positive with respect to cathode. So The diode is
forward-biased.

 By applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law:

I =1.5 mA

 The cathode voltage is:


V k = ( 10 k Ω ) I −20 v
¿ ( 10 k Ω ) ( 1.5 mA )−20 v
¿ 15 v −20 v
¿−5 v
 The cathode of the diode is at -5 v.
 The anode of the diode is at ground (0 v).
 Hence the anode is positive with respect to cathode. So The diode is
forward-biased.

b-
 The anode of the diode is at ground (0 v).
 The cathode of the diode is at -100 v.
 the anode is more positive than the cathode. So The diode is
forward-biased and it is known that for a forward-biased diode the
voltage across the diode is 0.7 v.
c-
 The anode of the diode is at 19.58 v.
 The cathode of the diode is at ground (0 v).
 the anode is more positive than the cathode. So The diode is
forward-biased and it is known that for a forward-biased diode the
voltage across the diode is 0.7 v.
d-
 The cathode of the diode is at -5 v.
 The anode of the diode is at ground (0 v).
 the anode is more positive than the cathode. So The diode is
forward-biased and it is known that for a forward-biased diode the
voltage across the diode is 0.7 v.

18. Consider the meter indications in each circuit of Figure 1 - 42, and determine
whether the diode is functioning properly, or whether it is open or
shorted. Assume the ideal model.
Figure 1 - 42

a-
 The voltage across the diode is 25 v. The voltage across the diode
should be 0.7 v. The diode is not shorted because the voltage across a
shorted diode is 0 v.
 Therefore, the diode is open.
b-
 The voltage across the diode is 15 v. The voltage across the diode
should be 0.7 v. The diode is not shorted because the voltage across a
shorted diode is 0 v.
 Therefore, the diode is open.
c-
 The voltage at the given point is 2.5 v. The voltage at this point will be
0 v if the diode is open.
 Therefore, the diode is shorted.
d-
 The voltage across the resistor is 0 v. The diode should be in reverse
bias, but an open circuit which in turn the voltage across the resistor is
equal to zero.
 Therefore, the diode is functioning properly.
