Find the voltage, current, and power delivered to the diode in Figure 3–56(a). The diode’s i–v characterististics are given in Figure 3–56(b).

Suppose for the circuit shown in Figure 3–56

(a) that the diode’s i−υ characteristics can be modeled by the following equation

where υ is given in volts and i is given in amperes. Note that these i−υ characteristics is for a different diode from that shown in Figure 3–56(b). Use manual calculations or the MATLAB function solve to find the exact operating point for this circuit.
