Application of p-n junction diode rectifier

Question

In the arrangement shown diodes are ideal. Then current through the $10 Ω$ resistor

Easy

A

is zero
B

flows from C to D in one half and from D to C in the next half
C

always flows from C to D
D

always flows from D to C.

Solution

When terminal A is positive and B is negative, $D_{1} and D_{4}$ conduct and current flows from C to D. In the next half cycle, when A is negative and B is positive $D_{2} and D_{3}$ conduct and current flows from C to D.
