A \(5 \,V\) battery is connected across the points \(X\) and \(Y\). Assume \(D_{1}\) and \(D_{2}\) to be normal silicon diodes. Find the current (in \(A\)) supplied by the battery if the \(+ve\) terminal of the battery is connected to point \(X\)

  1. A \(0.5\)
  2. B \(1.5\)
  3. C \(0.86\)
  4. D \(0.43\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.43\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here only \(D_{1}\) will work and we know for silicon diode, potential drop on \(D _{1}\) will be \(0.7 V\) \(I=\frac{5-0.7}{10}=0.43 A\)
