Voltage drop across a p-n junction in forward bias is 0.5 V a battery of 2V is connected across the p-n junction such that the maximum current does not exceed 10 mA calculate the value of resistance to be connected across the diode

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the resistance that should be connected across the p-n junction diode to ensure that the maximum current does not exceed 10 mA when a 2V battery is connected.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Voltage Drop Across the Diode:**
The voltage drop across the p-n junction in forward bias is given as 0.5 V.

2. **Determine the Total Voltage Supplied by the Battery:**
