Two diodes `D_(1)` and `D_(2)` each with forward resistance of 50 `omega` and infinite backward resistance are connected as the current througjh thej 150 `omega` resistance is

Options

A. 1.64 A
B. 0.032 A
C. 0.0167 A
D. zero

Explanation

Here the diode `D_(2)` is reverse biased and offers infinite resistance . The diode `D_(1)` forward biased and offers a resistance of 50 `Sigma` . The circuit can be d simplified as shown.

Current in the circuit
`I= (5V)/( (100 + 150 + 50) Sigma) = (5V)/( 300 Sigma) = 0.0167 A`
Hence correct option is ( c)
