What is the current in the following junction diode circuit? (a) 10⁻¹ A (b) zero (c) 10⁻² A (d) 5 × 10⁻³ A

Answer: (b). The P side is at -5 V and the N side is connected (through 500 Ω) to -2 V. VP < VN, so the diode is reverse biased and an ideal diode passes no current. So the answer is (b) zero.

P-N Junction Diode

What is the current in the following junction diode circuit?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

The P side is at $-5$ V and the N side is connected (through $500\ \Omega$ ) to $-2$ V.
$V_P < V_N$ , so the diode is reverse biased and an ideal diode passes no current.
So the answer is (b) zero.
