the current through a diode is not zero when it is reversed biased. It is generally equal to the saturation current, which is about 171 nanoamps for the default diode model. 171 nA * 2050 ohms = about 350 microvolts which is why you're seeing that voltage.
Between D1 and D2, if I'm not totally wrong, the value should be 0 V, not 6 V as it appears, right?
Thank you very much! Your project is amazing!
the current through each diode is the same, so the voltage across each one should be the same. It doesn't make sense for one diode to have 12 V across it and the other one to have 0 V across it. Each diode has about 6 V across it. That's why the voltage is 6V in the middle.
Perfect! Thank you!

I simulated two diodes in series with the cathodes pointed to the positive side of the loop and a resistor connected in sequence. The resulting voltage on the anode side of the resistor should be zero, but it has voltage. Could someone explain to me if I used this simulation in the wrong way or if there is some bug in this type of circuit assembly? Thanks
