and \( \mathrm{B} \) is

  1. A \( 1.3 \mathrm{~V} \)
  2. B \( 2.2 \mathrm{~V} \)
  3. C \( 00 \)
  4. D \( 0.5 \mathrm{~V} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 2.2 \mathrm{~V} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(I=0.2 \mathrm{~mA}=0.2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A} ;\) Voltage drop at diode \(=0.2 \mathrm{~V} R_{1}=R_{2}=5 \mathrm{k} \Omega=5 \times 10^{3} \Omega\)
Now, voltage drop at \(R_{1}=0.2 \times 10^{-3} \times 5 \times 10^{3}=1 \mathrm{~V}\)
and voltage drop at \(R_{2}=0.2 \times 10^{-3} \times 5 \times 10^{3}=1 \mathrm{~V}\)
Therefore, voltage difference \(=1+1+0.2=2.2 \mathrm{~V}\)
