will be
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Initially Ge and Si are both forward biased. So, current will effectively pass through Ge diode with a voitage drop of 0.3 V .
Initial output voltage.
If Ge is reversed biased, then only Si diode will work. In this condition, output voltage
Change in output voltage
