, connected to various voltage sources. Determine the state of each diode. Solution Approach: Case 1: Assume both are ON. Replace both with sources. If the calculated current cap I sub cap D 1 end-sub is negative, cap D sub 1 cannot be ON. Case 2: Assume cap D sub 1 is OFF and cap D sub 2 cap D sub 1 with an open circuit and cap D sub 2 Verification: If the voltage across the open cap D sub 1 is less than and the current through cap D sub 2 is positive, this assumption is correct.
