Q. The current flowing through $10\,\Omega$ resistor in the circuit shown in the figure isPhysics Question Image

Semiconductor Electronics: Materials Devices and Simple Circuits

Solution:

In the given circuit, junction diode $D_1$ is forward biased and will conduct whereas junction diode $D_2$ is reverse biased and will not conduct. Therefore current through $10\,\Omega$ resistor is
$I = \frac{2\,V}{10\,\Omega+15\,\Omega} = 0.08\,A = 80\,mA$
