The reading of the ammeter for a silicon diode in the given circuit is.......\(mA\)

- A \(15\)
- B \(13.5 \)
- C \(11.5\)
- D \(0\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(11.5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Clearly from fig. given in question, Silicon diode is in forward bias. \(\therefore\) Potential barrier across diode \(\Delta \mathrm{V}=0.7 \mathrm{volts}\) Current, \(I=\frac{V-\Delta V}{R}=\frac{3-0.7}{200}\) \(=\frac{2.3}{200}=11.5 \mathrm{mA}\)
