What is the current in the circuit shown below?

A

`0 amp`

B

`10^(-2) amp`

C

`1 amp`

D

`0.10 amp`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The potential of `P`-side is more negative that of `N`-side hence diode is in reverse biasing. In reverse biasing. In reverse biasing it acts as open circuit, hence no current follows.
