2. Using the diode characteristics calculated in Part 1, calculate the values of V1, V2, and V3 for Part 2 of the procedure. Assume identical diodes (all diode drops are equal).

Hint: Assume a value for V3 and calculate the current in the 2K. Using the calculations from Part 1, "look up" the corresponding diode drops and calculate V. If it doesn't match the desired V, select another value of V3 and repeat the process. Show your detailed calculations for the case when V equals 5 volts.
