Assuming in forward bias condition there is a voltage drop of 0.7 V across a silicon diode, the current through diode \(D _1\) in the circuit is ___________mA . (Assume all diodes in the given circuit are identical)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 18.8
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(12-0.3 \times 10^3 I -0.7=0\)
\(\frac{11.3}{0.3 \times 10^3}= I\)
\(37.66 \times 10^{-3} A= I\)
Current through diode \(D _1, I _1= I / 2\)
\(I _1=18.83 mA\)
\(\frac{11.3}{0.3 \times 10^3}= I\)
\(37.66 \times 10^{-3} A= I\)
Current through diode \(D _1, I _1= I / 2\)
\(I _1=18.83 mA\)
