Correct answer: B
-
Interpret the circuit
Since the question refers to currents and identical diodes each having forward resistance , the intended idea is that all forward-biased diodes behave like equal resistors.
Let each conducting diode be replaced by a resistor of resistance
-
Use symmetry/equivalent resistance idea
In the given diode network, the branches carrying are equivalent because each contains one identical forward-biased diode under the same potential difference. Hence the currents through those equivalent branches are equal:
-
Apply current division / KCL
The current enters a junction and splits into two equal equivalent paths represented by the branches carrying and the other branch current arrangement. From the given symmetric diode-resistance network, the total current entering the junction is twice the current in one such equal branch:
Therefore,
-
Check options
- A: may appear true only if those two branches are perfectly equivalent, but from the full circuit relation asked in the options, the uniquely correct result is the current-splitting relation.
- B: Correct.
- C: is not the required correct choice from the circuit analysis.
- D: is false.
-
