Ge and Si diodes conduct at \(0.3 \,V\) and \(0.7\, V\) respectively. In the following figure if Ge diode connection are reversed, the valve of \(V0\) changes by.....\(V\)

  1. A \(0.2\)
  2. B \(0.4\)
  3. C \(0.6\)
  4. D \(0.8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Consider the case when \( Ge\) and \(Si \) diodes are connected as show in the given figure. Equivalent voltage drop across the combination \(Ge\) and \(Si\) diode \(= 0.3 \,V\) ==> Current \(i = \frac{{12 - 0.3}}{{5\,k\Omega }} = 2.34\,mA\) Out put voltage…
