Both the diodes used in the circuit shown are assumed to be ideal and have negligible resistance when these are forward biased. Built in potential in each diode is \(0.7\; \mathrm{V} .\) For the input voltages shown in the figure, the voltage (in \(Volts\)) at point \(A\) is

- A \(18\)
- B \(8\)
- C \(12\)
- D \(15\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(12\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Diode \(D_{1}\) is forward biased and \(D_{2}\) is reverse biased. \(\therefore \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}}=12.7-0.7=12\; \mathrm{V}\)
