Homework Equations
I can use KVL/KCL.
And have a rough knowledge of finding wheather a diode is on or off using guess and check method.
The soloution given by multiple sources is assuming D1 is on and D2 is off, V=10v and I=0.
(it may be possible that the question itself is stated wrong), are these answers correct/possible?
The Attempt at a Solution
I know current I is 0. if D2 is off (because it creates an open circuit).
but i don't understand how 10v is obtained for V...
Ah, i see We apply voltage divider equations, (New question: do i delete this thread or leave it up for anyone else to reference)
