Diode in a Circuit
1 question, with its answer.
-
The current (I) in the circuit will be : -
Check the bias of each diode with respect to the battery.
The diode in the top (20 $\Omega$) branch is reverse biased, so it acts as an open switch and no current flows in that branch.
The diode in the middle (30 $\Omega$) branch is forward biased and acts as a closed switch (ideal diode).
So the equivalent circuit is the 5 V battery in series with 20 $\Omega$ and 30 $\Omega$.
$I = \dfrac{5\ V}{(30 + 20)\ \Omega} = \dfrac{5}{50}$ A
That is every question in Diode in a Circuit.
