Question

The circuit shown in following figure contains two diode D subscript 1 end subscript and D subscript 1 end subscript each with a forward resistance of 50 ohms and with infinite backward resistance. If the battery voltage is 6 V, the current through the 100 ohm resistance (in amperes) is

  1. Zero    
  2. 0.02    
  3. 0.03    
  4. 0.036    

The correct answer is: 0.02


    According to the given polarity, diode D subscript 1 end subscript is forward biased while D subscript 2 end subscript is reverse biased. Hence current will pass through D1 only.
    So current i equals fraction numerator 6 over denominator left parenthesis 150 plus 50 plus 100 right parenthesis end fraction equals 0.02 A
