A 
junction diode can withstand upto 
current under forward bias. The diode has a potential difference of 
across it, which is assumed to be independent of current. What is the maximum voltage of the battery used to forward bias the diode when a resistance of 
is connected in series with it?
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Given, 
Maximum current in forward bias mode
So, Resistance of diode,
Now, if 
is connected with this diode in series
So, effective resistance,
Therefore, maximum voltage to be sued
