Questions  

A diode made of Silicon has a barrier potential of 0.7 V and a current of 20 mA passes through the diode, when a battery of 4 V and a resistance R are in series to it. The  wattage of the resistor is 

           

a
46 W
b
46 mW
c
14 W
d
66 mW

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Potential drop across the resistance is 4-0.7=3.3 V Power consumption across the resistance is VI=3.3×20×10-3=66 mW
