Using different diode models to calculate voltages and currents in simple diode circuits. Models are:
1) Diode is a short when forward biased and an open when reverse biased.
2) Diode is modeled as a small voltage drop when forward biased and an open when reverse biased.
3) Diode is modeled as a small voltage drop and resistance when forward biased and an open when reverse biased.
4) Shockley's Diode Equation
