Question:
Regarding the circuit depicted in Fig., compute I. if the diode is modelled:
(a) as an ideal diode;
(b) with the piecewise linear model V0 = 0.70 V and R0 = 0Ω.
(c) Calculate ID and VD if the polarity of the voltage source is reversed. Use the piecewise model in part (b) and assume a breakdown voltage of -VBR = 50 V.
