Slide 1Slide 2Slide 3Slide 4Slide 5Slide 6In conclusion, once you obtain the solution, ask yourself some conceptual questions:1. Since you know how a diode works (allows current to flow in only direction etc.), does your answer make physical sense?2. 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.
