Introduction: Referring to Figure 1-2.a note that the forward-biased silicon diode has a voltage drop of 0.7V across it with the remaining power supply voltage dropped across the load resistance (RL). The voltage drop of R₁ can be found by the formula VL = Vdd - Vf. The forward current (IF) through the circuit can be found by the formula ID = VL/RL. Referring to Figure 1-2b, note that a reverse-biased silicon diode has the total power supply voltage dropped across it, while the voltage drop across the load resistor is zero, since no current is flowing in the circuit. Vdd = +6 V Vdd = +6 V D1 RL VF VL Figure 1-2.a D1 RL Im VF VL Figure 1-2.b
