Communication System Question 6

Question: In the following circuit of PN junction diodes $ D _{1} $ , $ D _{2} $ and $ D _{3} $ are ideal then I is

Options:

A) $ E/R $

B) $ E/2R $

C) $ 2E/3R $

D) Zero

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Diodes $ D _{1} $ and $ D _{3} $ are forward biased and $ D _{2} $ is reverse biased so the circuit can be redrawn as follows.
$ \Rightarrow i=\frac{E}{R} $
