Consider the diode circuit shown in the figure. The Current i_D and the voltage v_D can be determined from the solution of the following system of equations:

i_D = I_o(e^qvp/kT - 1), i_D = V_s - V_D/R

The system can be solved numerically or Diode graphically. The graphical solution is found by plotting i_D as a function of v_D from both equations. The solution is the intersection of the two curves. Make the plots and estimate the solution for the case where I₀ = 10^-14 A, v_s = 1.5 V, R = 1200 Ω, and = 30mV.
