The voltage VOUT across the ideal diode if VIN is-5V and resistance R1=10KΩ is ___________(a) -5V(b) 0V(c) -2.5V(d) 2.5VThe question was posed to me in my homework.Asked question is from Ideal Diode Model-1 topic in chapter Diode Circuit of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) -5V

Explanation: In ideal diode model the diode is CONSIDERED as a perfect conductor in forward BIAS and perfect insulator in reverse bias. That is voltage drop at forward bias is ZERO and current through the diode at reverse bias is zero. SINCE diode is reverse bias no current flows through the circuit so entire voltage appears on diode.
