What is the current in the following diode circuit?

A

`0A`

B

`10^(-2) A`

C

`1 A`

D

`0.10 A`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Potential on the p-side = -4 V
Potential on then-side= -1 V
`therefore ` The diode is reverse biased and hence for the flow of current resistance is infinity.
`therefore` I=0
