Q. The current $ I $ through $ 10\,\Omega $ resistor in the circuit given below isPhysics Question Image

KEAMKEAM 2008Semiconductor Electronics: Materials Devices and Simple Circuits

Solution:

Here, diode $ {{D}_{2}} $ is reverse biased while $ {{D}_{1}} $ is forward biased. So, no current flows across $ {{D}_{2}}, $ current flows through diode $ {{D}_{1}} $
$ I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{2}{10+15}=\frac{2}{25} $
$ =0.08A=80\,mA $
