Introduction

For this chapter, we pretty much use the same tools from chapter 1 with some careful analysis when applying Mesh, Nodal, Thevenin and Norton.

For additional resources about diodes and transistors, Analog Devices has wonderful free resource courses under their Engineering University Program (Link) that you can use to complement the knowledge from The Art of Electronics.

Chapter 2.2 Some basic transistor circuits

Exercise 2.1
We need to make a couple of assumptions in order to solve this exercise:

- We will use (Eq. 2.1) from page 72
- Vbe = 0.6V from page 72
- Vce at saturation = 0.1V (deeply saturated value)
- We will consider a red LED with a voltage drop of 1.7V (from Figure 2.8 on page 76)
