In conclusion once you obtain the solution ask yourself some conceptual questions 1 2 Since you know how a diode works allows current to flow in only direction etc does your answer make physical sense Can you obtain the DP plot via simulation using MultiSim Turns out that there is a device called a curve tracer that draws I V DP plots So you can check your answer in MultiSim as with any simulation you should understand what you are doing to interpret the results I have posted a MultiSim project file that verifies our solution If the DP plot is not a function then you need to play some circuit tricks to obtain the DP plot this is beyond the scope of this class If you are interested read Hysteresis in electronic circuits A circuit theorist s perspective Chua L O and Kennedy M P Int Journal Of Circuit Th And Appl 19 1991 pp 471 515
