A diode having potential difference 0.5 V across its junction which does not depend on current, is connected in series with a resistance of \( 20 \Omega \) across a source. If 0.1 A current passes through the resistor, the voltage across the source is :

  1. A 1.5 V
  2. B 2.0 V
  3. C 2.5 V
  4. D 5 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2.5 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( V_R = I \times R \) \( V_R = 0.1 \text{ A} \times 20 \, \Omega = 2.0 \text{ V} \) \( V_s = V_d + V_R \) \( V_s = 0.5 \text{ V} + 2.0 \text{ V} = 2.5 \text{ V} \)
