Doing self study. Diode circuit. 10V battery followed by series load resistor. Thence a resistor and diode in parallel and back to the battery. Simple to take the 0.7v drop of the diode and have 9.3V remaining on across the first resistor. This allows calculation of total current through circuit and the rest is easy. BUT Then they want you to use the "ideal diode" method to solve same problem. With 0 voltage across "ideal diode" I will have 0 voltage across parallel resistor. I.e. a short circuit. It's like those components don't esist. What am I missing?
