Currents flowing in each of the circuits 
and 
respectively are
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
In circuit 
, both the 
junction diodes are in forward biased. Total resistance 
is given by
According to Ohm's law, 
In circuit 
, lower 
junction diode is in reverse biased. Hence, no current will flow in it but upper diode is forward biased, so current can flow through it.
