P-N junction diode

Question

The circuit shown in following figure contains two diode $D_{1}$ and $D_{2}$ each with a forward resistance of 50 ohms and with infinite backward resistance. If the battery voltage is 6 V the current through the I00 ohm resistance (in amperes) is

Moderate

A

zero
B

0.02
C

0.03
D

0.036

Solution

According to the given polarity, diode $D_{1}$ is forward biased while $D_{2}$ is reverse biased. Hence current will pass through $D_{1}$ on1y.
$So current i = \frac{6}{(150 + 50 + 100)} = 0.02 A$
