The circuit shown in following figure contains two diode
and
each with a forward resistance of 50 ohms and with infinite backward resistance. If the battery voltage is
, the current through the 100 ohm resistance (in amperes) is

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
According to the given polarity, diode
is forward biased while
is reverse biased. Hence current will pass through
only.
So current
