In the arrangement shown in fig. the current through diode is-
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The diode symbol shows the anode on the left and cathode on the right.
Given:
Left side potential 
Right side potential 
So, 
The anode is at a lower potential than the cathode, so the diode is reverse biased.
Therefore, no current flows through the diode (ideal diode assumption).
