P-N Junction Diode

Assuming that the junction diode is ideal, the current in the arrangement shown in figure is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Anode at +3 V+3\text{ V}, other end at +1 V+1\text{ V}: forward biased; ideal diode has zero resistance.
  2. I=3−1100=0.02 A=20 mAI = \dfrac{3 - 1}{100} = 0.02\text{ A} = 20\text{ mA}
  3. So the answer is (c) 20 mA20\text{ mA}.
