Question

For the diode circuits shown below, find the values of I and V indicated.

a) Using the constant-voltage-drop model (VD=0.7V): 

 

This diagram illustrates a basic electronic circuit featuring two diodes, labeled D₁ and D₂. 

- **Diode D₁**: Positioned at the left side of the circuit, its anode is connected to a ground symbol, indicating it is linked to the circuit's reference potential, while its cathode is connected to a resistor with a value of 4k ohms leading to -6V.

- **Diode D₂**: Located in the middle-top part of the diagram, its anode is connected to the junction between D₁'s cathode and the 4k ohm resistor. D₂'s cathode is connected to a second resistor of 8k ohms, which leads to a point labeled +6V.

- **Current Flow (I)**: Indicated by an arrow pointing from the anode of D₁ through the diode, implying the direction of current flow when the diode is forward-biased.

- **Voltage Output (V)**: The point where the 8k ohm resistor connects back to the horizontal wire at the top is marked with "V," signifying the voltage output or measurement point for the circuit.

This circuit essentially demonstrates the use of diodes for directing current flow and establishing specific voltage levels within an electrical system.
