(a) For VD2 = 1.5 V, VDi = 1.0 V, ID2 = 600 A, and ID1 = 50 A,

1.5-1.0 = 77x0.0258x/«| — ], which give ^ = 7.799

Problem 2-3

VDI = VD2 = 2000 V, Ri = 100 kfi
(a) From Fig. P2-3, the leakage current are: Isi = 17 mA and Is2 = 25 mA
IRI = VDI/RI = 2000/100000 = 20 mA
aE
(b) From Eq. (2-12), ISi + IRI = IS2 + IR2
ew
or 17 + 20 = 25 + IR2, or IR2 = 12 mA
R2 = 2000/12 mA = 166.67 kQ

For VD = 1.5 V, Fig. P2-3 gives IDi = 140 A and ID2 = 50 A

IT = 200 A, v = 2.5
Ij = i2i i x = iT/2 = 200/2 = 100 A

For Ii = 100 A, Fig. P2-3 yields VDi = 1.1 V and VD2 = 1.95 V
v = VDI + Ii Ri Or 2.5 = 1.1 + 100 RI or R x = 14 mQ
v = VD2 + I2 R2 Or 2.5 = 1.95 + 100 R2 or R2 = 5.5 mQ


Problem 2-6

, R! = R2 = 10 kft, Vs = 5 kV, Isi = 25 mA, Is2 = 40 mA
From Eq. (2-12), ISi + IRI = Is2 + IK*
or Isi + VDI /Ri = IS2 + VD2 /R2
25 x 10"3 + Voi/10000 = 40 x 10"3 + VD2/10000
VDI + VD2 = Vs = 5000
Solving for VDi and VD2 gives VDi = 2575 V and VD2 = 2425 V
