A diode with the i-v characteristic shown in Figure P7.2.8 is used in series with a voltage source of 5 V (forward bias) and a load resistance of 1 k Ω.
(a) Determine the current and the voltage in the load resistance.
(b) Find the power dissipated by the diode.
(c) Compute the load current for different load resistance values of 2, 5, 0.5, and 0.2 k Ω.
