JEE PYQ: Semiconductors Question 10
Question 10 - 2021 (25 Feb 2021 Shift 1)
A 5 V battery is connected across the points X and Y. Assume $D_1$ and $D_2$ to be normal silicon diodes. Find the current supplied by the battery if the +ve terminal of the battery is connected to point X.
(1) $\sim 0.86$ A
(2) $\sim 0.5$ A
(3) $\sim 0.43$ A
(4) $\sim 1.5$ A
Show Answer
Answer: (3)
Solution
Silicon diode drop is 0.7 V, only $D_1$ conducts. $I = (5 - 0.7)/10 = 0.43$ A.
