The diode voltage,
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The circuit diagram is given as:
The reverse saturation current for each diode is
Calculation:
Referring the given circuit, here the diode current is flowing in the reverse direction.
Hence, the reverse saturation current will be the diode current in this case.
Since the value of the reverse saturation current is given in the question.
Therefore,
Now evaluating the diode voltage:
Since, due to reverse direction of the current, no current will flow through the resistor. Hence the drop across the resistor will be zero.
Therefore, the value of the diode voltage will be same as the output voltage:
