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

In the given circuit P-N Junction Diode and its applications diagram: In the given circuit The current through the The current through the battery is :
0.5 A
1 A
1.5 A
2 A

Solution Explained:

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 D2 and D3 are forward biased. Where as Diode D1 is reversed biased. No current will flow through D1. 

Equivalent Resistance= 20/3 ohm

Current = Voltage / Resistance = 10/ (20/3) = 1.5 Ampere
