A silicon diode with a forward resistance of 10Ω is connected in series with a 500Ω resistor. If an A.C voltage of 20V peak is connected across the series combination of the diode and the resistor what will be the peak value of the current through the diode and the peak output voltage? What will be the peak value of the current through the diode and the peak output voltage if the diode were ideal?
