EDIT: I was being stupid and forgot the first diode would turn off after i worked out stuff for diode C, thanks anyway, solution found!Hi I'm having some trouble getting the correct output voltage when i model the diodes using a voltage ofset and resistors.
A = 4V, B = 2V, C = 3V
Using Voltage drop across the diode of 0.7V and a on resistance of 500 ohms
Doing the analysis of the circuit in the attachments I conclude A & C are on.
I1 = I2 + I3
I1 = (5 - Vx)/1500
I2 = (Vx- 4.7)/500
I3 = (Vx- 3.7)/500
Once i re-arrange all of those i get Vout to be 4.31V whereas in the answers it should be 4.03V.
Any help would be gratefully received! many thanks
Edit: Vx is the node all the diodes are attached to
