Figure shows a circuit in which three identical diodes are used . Each diode has forward resistance of \(20\,\Omega \) and infinite backward resistance. Resistors \(R_1 = R_2 = R_3 = 50\,\Omega.\) Battery voltage is \(6\,V.\) The current through \(R_3\) is.....\(mA\)

  1. A 50
  2. B 100
  3. C 60
  4. D 25
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 50

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, diodes \(D_1\) and \(D_2\) are forward biased and \(D_3\) is reverse biased. Therefore current through \(R_3\) \(i = \frac{V}{{R'}} = \frac{6}{{120}} = \frac{1}{{20}}A = 50\,mA\)
