P-N Junction Diode and its applications: Practice Problem & Solution

In the following circuit of PN junction diodes D1, D2, D3 are ideal then i is : P-N Junction Diode and its applications diagram: In the following circuit of PN junction diodes
E/R
E/2R
2E/3R
Zero

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of P-N Junction Diode and its applications. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Diode D3 is forward biased so it will short circuit both diodes D1 and D2. So, equivalent resistance of circuit becomes R. Hence,

i= E/R
