)Diode models- half wave rectifier)

1. In each of the following circuit;

 Determine whether each silicon diode is forward-biased or

reverse-biased
 Determine the voltage across each diode and the current through
the diode assuming the ideal model.
 Determine the voltage across each diode and the current through
the diode assuming the practical model.
 Determine the voltage across each diode and the current through
the diode assuming the complete model with Rf=10Ω, Rr=100 MΩ.
2. Draw the output voltage, diode current and the voltage across the
diode for each circuit in the following figures and determine;

 Average and RMS values of the load voltage

 Average and RMS values of the load current
 Peak inverse voltage across the diode
 The power delivered to the load
