In figure v1 = 8 V and v2 = 4 V. Which diode will conduct?


Answer: Option
Explanation:
D1 will conduct and the output voltage will be about 7 V. Therefore D2 will be reverse biased and will not conduct.

How V is V/10?

@Nikkie
You will get V = 40/7 which is 5.7.
Hence, d1 will conduct and d2 will be reverse bias and won't conduct.
But from above statement how can tell that d1 will conduct?

Simple apply kcl at the node.
V-8+v-4=v/10,
2v-12=v/10,
20v-120=v,
19v=120,
V=120/19,
V=6.31v.
You will get 6.31v at that node. So diode D1 is FB and D2 is Rb.
The answer should be B.

@KCL.
i total = i1 + i2.
(V-8-0.7)/1k + (V-4-0.7)/1k = V/10k.
V = 7.05 so only D1 will conduct since it exceeds the threshold 7.05 and D2 is reverse biased.
i total = i1 + i2.
(V-8-0.7)/1k + (V-4-0.7)/1k = V/10k.
V = 7.05 so only D1 will conduct since it exceeds the threshold 7.05 and D2 is reverse biased.

After Diode D1 conducts the potential creat at the junction between 1k and 10k is 6.36V (assume both diodes are Silicon diode) so at the diode, D2 anode potential is lesser than the cathode potential so D2 will not conduct.
So, Answer B is the right answer.
So, Answer B is the right answer.

(8-v)/1 +(4-v)/1=v/10,
v=5.71, where v is nodal voltage.
so D1 forward biased and D2 is reverse biased.
So, D1 is conducting.
v=5.71, where v is nodal voltage.
so D1 forward biased and D2 is reverse biased.
So, D1 is conducting.

V = 5.05 so only D1 will conduct since it exceeds the threshold 5.05 and D2 is reverse biased.
