Q.

A p-n junction diode can withstand currents upto 10 mA under forward bias, diode has a potential difference of 0.5 V across it which is assumed to be independent of current. What is the maximum voltage of the battery used to forward bias the diode when a resistance of 200 ohm is connected in series with it.
