Question

The circuit shown in the figure contains two diodes each with a forward resistance of 30 blank capital omega and with infinite backward resistance. If the battery is 3V, the current through the 50 blank capital omega resistance (in ampere) is

  1. Zero    
  2. 0.01    
  3. 0.02    
  4. 0.03    

The correct answer is: 0.02


    In the circuit the upper diode D subscript 1 end subscript is reverse biased and the lower diode D subscript 2 end subscript is forward biased. Thus there will be no current across upper diode junction. The effective circuit will be as shown in figure.

    Total resistance of circuit
    R equals 50 plus 70 plus 30 equals 150 blank capital omega
    Current in circuit, I equals fraction numerator V over denominator R end fraction equals fraction numerator 3 over denominator 150 end fraction equals 0.02 blank A.
