The source voltage is 9 volt and source resistance is `1kOmega` The current through the silicon diode is (knee voltage of silicon is 0.7 volt):

A

8.3 mA

B

0.38 mA

C

4.2 mA

D

3.8 mA

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Resultant P.D. across the circuit is = 9-0.7 = 8.7 V
Now `I=V/R=(8.3)/(10^3)=8.3xx10^(-3)=8.3mA `
