An ideal diode and a 5 fl resistor are connected in series with a 15 V power supply as shown in figure below. Calculate the current that flows through the diode.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The diode is forward biased and it is an ideal one. Hence, it acts like a closed switch with no barrier voltage.
Therefore, current that flows through the diode can be calculated using Ohm’s law.
`V=IR`
`I=V/R`
`15/5=3A`
