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

  1. A \(15\) 
  2. B \(13.5 \) 
  3. C \(11.5\) 
  4. D \(0\)
Verified Solution

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, \(I=\frac{V-\Delta V}{R}=\frac{3-0.7}{200}\) \(=\frac{2.3}{200}=11.5 \mathrm{mA}\)
