What happens to a diode when the voltage exceeds the cut-in voltage?
Think about the flow of current direction.
Define Thevenin's equivalent circuit.
Consider how complex circuits can be simplified.
What is the cut-in voltage of a silicon diode approximately?
Consider standard ranges of silicon diode components.
When the diode is off, what is the expected current?
Think about the definition of 'off' for electrical components.
A diode circuit has a cut-in voltage of 0.7V and is connected in series with a 1kΩ resistor. How much output voltage will be across the resistor if the input voltage is 5V?
Apply the diode voltage drop in your calculations.
If a circuit contains a capacitor of 10μF and is connected to Thevenin equivalent resistance of 1Ω, what will be the cutoff frequency of the resulting high-pass filter?
Remember to use the correct unit conversions.
