Using the ideal diode model of a silicon diode and taking E=10 V and R=1k, what is the value of diode current at operating point?(a) 9.25 mA(b) 10 mA(c) 0 mA(d) 9.5mAThe question was posed to me during an internship interview.This is a very interesting question from Load Line Analysis topic in division Diode Circuit of Analog Circuits

Answer»

The correct answer is (b) 10 mA

For explanation: In IDEAL diode model, we take the forward THRESHOLD voltage to be zero. HENCE thee diode characteristic is REPRESENTED as the upper half of the y-axis. Hence, ID = E/R = 10 mA.
