A semiconductor P-N junction is to be forward biased with a battery of e.m.f. 1.5 volt. If a potential difference of 0.5 V appears on the junction which does not depend on current. Then to use the junction at 5 mA current, the resistance required to be connected in its series will be 

              

a
3 kilo ohms
b
300 ohms
c
300 kilo ohms
d
200 ohms

detailed solution

Correct option is D

net potential difference across the resistor is 1.5 - 0.5 = 1 Vaccording to Ohm's law 1=5×10-3RR=1035=200 Ω
