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
