Question

Assume that each diode shown in the figure has a forward bias resistance of 50 Ω and an infinite reverse bias resistance.

Answer 1

Answer:

The current through the 50 ohm resistance is 0.04 Ampere. In the given circuit, the diode D1 is reverse biased and it also offers an infinite resistance. The diode D2 is forward biased and it offers a resistance of 50 Ω. Therefore, the complete resistance of the circuit is R = 50 + 50 + 150 - 250 ohms. Therefore, the current that is flowing in the circuit is I = V/R = 10 volts / 250 ohms = 0.04 Ampere.
