### Understanding Circuit Diagrams and Calculating Current **Figure 16-1** Three circuit diagrams are presented to illustrate different scenarios involving resistors and diodes. Below we explain each diagram in detail: #### Diagram (a) - **Components:** - A voltage source of 20 V - A resistor \(R_1\) with a resistance of 500 Ω - A silicon diode - **Description:** The circuit shows a power source connected in series with a resistor \(R_1\) of 500 Ω and a silicon diode. #### Diagram (b) - **Components:** - A voltage source of 1 V - A resistor \(R_1\) with a resistance of 500 Ω - A silicon diode - **Description:** This circuit is similar to (a) but with a voltage source of 1 V instead of 20 V. #### Diagram (c) - **Components:** - A voltage source of 50 V - A resistor \(R_1\) with a resistance of 1 kΩ (1000 Ω) - Another resistor \(R_2\) with a resistance of 1 kΩ (1000 Ω) - A silicon diode - **Description:** In this circuit, a 50 V source powers a configuration with two resistors \(R_1\) and \(R_2\), both of 1 kΩ. The resistors are parallel to each other, separated by a silicon diode which is in parallel with \(R_2\). #### Current Calculation Question The task involves determining the current through the resistor in Figure 16-1(a). **Question:** If the diode is silicon, what is the current through the resistor in Figure 16-1(a)? **Options:** - 9.65 mA - 25.9 mA - 38.6 mA - 40.0 mA
