Kirchhoff’s laws apply whether or not Ohm’s law applies to a particular element. The I-V characteristic of a diode, for example, is given by
where VT = 27 mV at room temperature and IS can vary from 10−12 to 10−3 A. In the circuit of Fig. 3.69, use KVL/KCL to obtain ID and VD if IS = 45 nA.
(Note: This problem results in a transcendental equation, requiring an iterative approach to obtaining a numerical solution. Most scientific calculators will perform such a function.)

A student is randomly selected. a) Draw a tree diagram to represent this situation. b) What is the probability that the selected student passes the exam? c) Given that a student failed, what is the probability they were from Section 1?arrow_forward.. A factory has two machines, A and B. Machine A produces 60% of the parts, while Machine B produces 40%. Machine A produces defective parts 5% of the time, while Machine B produces defective parts 10% of the time. A randomly selected part from production is inspected. a) Draw a tree diagram to represent the probability of getting a defective part. b) What is the probability that a randomly selected part is defective? c) If a part is found to be defective, what is the probability it came from Machine A?arrow_forward
- A Factory produces light bulbs from two different machines: Machine A and Machine B. The probability that a randomly selected light bulbs is from Machine A is 60%, and the probability that a light bulb is defective is 5%. Suppose that probability that a light bulb is defective given that it was made by Machine A is 0.05. Similarly, the probability that a light bulb is defective given that it was made by Machine B is 0.03. Are the events “the light bulb is from Machine A” and “the light bulb is defective” independent?arrow_forward3 (10pts).
