Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.4\, A\) and \(0.2\, A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When positive terminal connected to \(A\) then diode \(D_1\) is forward biased, current \(I \, =  \frac{2}{5} \, = 0.4\, A\)

When positive terminal connected to \(B\) then diode \(D_2\) is forward biased, current, \(I\, = \frac{2}{10}\, = 0.2\,A\)
