The circuit has two oppositely connected ideal diodes in parallel. What is the current flowing in the circuit?

A

`2A`

B

`1.5A`

C

`3.3A`

D

`1.1A`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`D_1` is reserve biased and `D_2` is forward biased.
For `D_2` R=0 `therefore I=10/(2+3) `= 2A
