The diode shown in the circuit is a silicon diode. The potential difference between the points `A` and `B` will be

A

6 V

B

0.6 V

C

0. 7 V

D

0 V

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The diode is reverse biased. No current flows in the circuit.
`therefore` P.D. of 6 V acts across only the diode or between the points A and B.
