A diode circuit and sinusoidal input signal are shown. The diode is modeled as an ideal diode in series with a voltage source Vf=0.7V.
take voltage value at 700us
resistor value is now 510
what is diode current, Note answer is not 4.51
Solution
From the given graph at t=700microseconds, the input voltage Vin=-2.8 Volts
At  Vin=-2.8 Volts, the diode is forward biased an it is ON (Short circuited).
 So Current=(0-(-2.8))/R=2.8/510=5.49mA
