A light emitting diode `(LED)` has a voltage drop of `2V` across it and passes a current of `10 mA`. When it operates with a `6V` battery through a limiting resistor `R`. The value of `R` is

A

`40k Omega`

B

`4k Omega`

C

`200 Omega`

D

`400 Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The term LED is abbreviated as 'Light Emitting Diode' . It is forward biased p-n junction which emits spontaneous radiation. Current in the circuit `=10mA=10xx10^(-3)A` and voltage in the circuit `=6-2=4V`
From Ohm's law, `V=IR`
`therefore R=(V)/(I)=(4)/(10xx10^(-3))=400Omega`
