Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0.5 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The circuit consists of three parallel branches connected to a 10 V source in series with a 10 \(\Omega\) resistor. We analyze the state of each diode \(D_1, D_2, D_3\). Branch 1 contains \(D_1\) in forward bias configuration relative to the positive terminal of the battery.…
