Correct answer: C
-
Use the silicon diode model
For a normal silicon diode, when it is forward biased, the voltage drop across it is approximately
-
Identify conducting path
Since the positive terminal of the battery is connected to point , the diode arrangement makes the relevant diode(s) forward biased in the current path from to .
In the given circuit, the effective forward-biased path includes one silicon diode in series with the resistor combination seen between and .
Therefore, the net voltage available across the resistor part is
-
Effective resistance
From the circuit, the equivalent resistance in the conducting path is
-
Calculate current supplied by battery
Using Ohm’s law,
-
Match with options
which corresponds to Option C.
-
