Concept:

At forward bias condition → Diode should be replaced with a battery source of value equal to its barrier potential(for silicon 0.7 V)circuit and the equivalent forward resistance rf.

At reverse bias condition → Diode should be replaced with an open circuit.

Concept:

Here;

Diode D1 and D2 are in forward-biased condition;

Apply KVL on the given loop;

    -20 + 0.7 + 0.7 + V2 = 0

∴ V2 = 20 -0.7 -0.7 = 20 - 1.4 = 18.6 V
