If the diodes are ideal in the circuit given below, then the current through the cell is

  1. A 4 A
  2. B 1.5 A
  3. C 2 A
  4. D 3 A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Diode, \(D_1=\) reverse biased \((\mathrm{OFF})\) and diode, \(D_2=\) forward biased \((\mathrm{ON})\). Because diodes are ideal, so voltage drop across \(\mathrm{D}_2\) is zero. \(\therefore\) Effective resistance, \(R=3+2+3+2=10 \Omega\) Current through the cell,…
