Q. A p-n junction in series with a resistance of $5 \, k\Omega $ is connected across a $50 \, V$ DC source. If the forward bias resistance of the junction is $50 \, \Omega $ , the forward bias current is

Solution:

Total resistance = $50+5000=5050$ $\Omega $
$\therefore $ Forward bias current $i=\frac{50}{5050}=\frac{1}{101}=9.9mA$
