In the given circuit, if the barrier potential across the diode is 0.5 V , the current in the circuit is:

  1. A 60mA
  2. B 7.33mA
  3. C 6mA
  4. D 73.33mA
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 60mA

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The circuit consists of a diode \(D\), a resistor \(R = 75 \Omega\), and a voltage source \(V = 5 \text{ V}\) connected in series. The diode is forward-biased as the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the p-side of the diode. The barrier potential \(V_{b}\) across…
