@fbs7 I've noticed I can get the result he has, in that way but I think it is confusing and actually wrong (and thus i opened this topic), since up until this point in the book, if the voltage drop on the diode is less then 10% of the source voltage, he will consider it to be 0V. I am saying...

@fbs7 that is the problem. @vk6kro & @ Jony130 that is also my answer on 0v voltage drop (but not the author). @vk6kro regarding the simulation (i use multisim) I know it's different in the "real/virtual world". Thank you all. In conclusion the book result is wrong (if they consider 0V...

Age is not an issue if you can imagine ;) The math won't be too difficult b/c you only need to calculate, not remembering theorems and understand the proofs like a mathematician. You should be fluent in differential equations above all. I am a computer engineer that is starting to hate...

The book is All New Electronics Self Teaching Guide. @fbs7 the aproximation for the ideal diode is (a). If I do the calculations considering a voltage drop of 0.7 on the diode (forward-biased), the result is as they say in the book. If I do the calculations considering a voltage drop of...

Thank you for the quick answers. This means the answer in the book is wrong (when the ideal diode is considered). They obtained a current through the diode less then current through the series resistor. There is also a note in the book that says it's ok to consider an ideal diode when the...

Hello, I am a computer engineer that specialized more in software but I am trying to remember the electronics part. In the book I read there is an exercise where a diode (forward-biased) is connected in parallel with a resistor and then both of them are connected in series with another...
