In the following circuit, the reading in the ammeter is

  1. A 25.1 mA
  2. B 22.5 mA
  3. C 21.5 mA
  4. D 21.25 mA
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 21.5 mA

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Reading of ammeter shows the current in the circuit.
Current is given by, \(I=V / R\)
I.(i) \(\frac{V-V_{\text {diode }}}{R}\)
For silicon diode, \(\mathrm{V}_{\text {diode }}=0.7 \mathrm{~V}\)
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{I}=\frac{5-0.7}{200}=\frac{4.3}{200}=21.5 \mathrm{~mA}\)
