The non-zero potential difference across diode \(\mathrm{D}_{1}\) and that across diode \(\mathrm{D}_{2}\) are
equal in the circuit shown in the figure (both the diodes are identical in
characteristics)




- A (A)
- B (B)
- C (C)
- D (D)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) (D)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In diagram (a) anode is at a lower potential compared to cathode. Hence it is reverse biased. In diagram (b) anode is at a higher potential compared to cathode. Hence it is forward biased.
