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

Determine V0 for the network P-N Junction Diode and its applications diagram: Determine V0 for the network
6.6 V
9 V
-9 V
-6.6 V

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:

Both the diodes are forward biased so current will flow through the circuit

i= 10/4.5= 20/9 mA

V0= i R= (20/9)×3.3 Volt= 6.6 volt
