Both conduct, but current divides. However, if perfectly matched, current splits equally. Often only one conducts if small differences exist.
Analyze the circuit in Fig. 1. The diode is a silicon diode with Vd = 0.7V. Find the current through the diode and the voltage across the resistor.
For additional problems, expand each section with:
There are several techniques used to analyze diode circuits, including:
V1 = 10V, V2 = 5V, R = 1kΩ
