In an ideal junction diode, the current flowing through \(\mathrm{PQ}\) is (resistance is 2 kilo-ohms)

  1. A \(2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A}\)
  2. B \(2 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~A}\)
  3. C \(4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A}\)
  4. D \(10^{-3} \mathrm{~A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The diode is forward biased. The potential difference between \(\mathrm{P}\) and \(\mathrm{Q}\) is \((3-(-5))=8 \mathrm{~V}\).
\(
\mathrm{I}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{8}{2 \times 10^3}=4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A}
