The image shows a basic electrical circuit with a sensor, resistors, and diodes. Here is the step-by-step breakdown of the components in the circuit:

- The circuit is powered by a +5V source.
- There is a current measuring device ("A" for Ammeter) placed in the circuit.
- A resistor with a value of 220 ohms is connected in series with a diode.
- A 10k ohm resistor is connected in parallel with another diode, forming a voltage divider.
- The output voltage (\( V_{\text{out}} \)) is measured at the point between the 10k resistor and the diode.

The task is to determine the sensor's conditions, output voltage \( V_{\text{out}} \), and forward current \( I_F \) for the diodes.

### 1. Output Voltage \( V_{\text{out}} \)
To find \( V_{\text{out}} \), we need to analyze the voltage drop across the components. Assuming the diodes are standard silicon diodes, the forward voltage drop across each diode is typically about 0.7V.

If we consider the voltage divider:
- The total resistance in the circuit can be approximated as the parallel combination of the 10k resistor and the diodes, but since diodes drop a constant voltage, we focus on the voltage drop across the 10k ohm resistor and the diode connected to it.
  
The equation for the voltage divider can be given as:
\[ V_{\text{out}} = V_{\text{in}} \times \frac{R_2}{R_1 + R_2} \]
where \( V_{\text{in}} = 5V \), \( R_1 = 220 \, \Omega \), and \( R_2 = 10k \, \Omega \).

### 2. Forward Current \( I_F \)
The forward current through the diode can be calculated using Ohm's law:
\[ I_F = \frac{V_F}{R} \]
where \( V_F \) is the forward voltage drop of the diode, typically 0.7V, and \( R \) is the total series resistance in the circuit (220 ohms).
