Question

Consider the circuit shown below.

What will be the value of the current through the diode?

• A. $0amp$
• B. $10^{-2}amp$
• C. $1amp$
• D. $0.10amp$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Since there is no breakage or branching in the circuit, the current will flow uniformly through both the end points. We can easily find the current through the resistor $300\Omega$ and the same amount of current will be flowing through the $P-N$ junction.
$\therefore$ Current flow is possible and $i=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{(4-1)}{300}={\left(10\right)}^{-2}A$
