In the circuit given below the p-n junction diode is ideal with negligible forward resistance and infinite backward resistance the current in the circuit is

A

2 mA

B

1mA

C

0.5 mA

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Here the diode is reverse biased as the p-side is at lower potential with respect to the side of the diode . The diode offers infinite resistance and hence there will be no current in the circuit .
